Take a look at the manufacturer sites - and their retail associates - on the
web. Usually you can find Make/Model/Year/Engine selector guides for their
products.
That said, here's the first example I came across...
Diehard International Mfr. model #33348
Sears item #02833348000
USD109
save you a few bucks, anyway...

I've had excellent luck in recent years with Interstate and AC Delco's
pro batteries. Not the Delco's you find at Kmart, AutoZone and such,
but the ones from real parts shops. Check your local yellow pages.
They'll cost more, but after having 2 of the AutoZone cheap as you can
make 'em batteries dump acid in my engine compartment, I won't touch 'em
anymore. (and no, the charging system and all were fine. 'twas due to
cases and seals that failed)

Make sure they know how to change the battery too, or it could be a trip to
the dealer to have the throttle adaptation reset, $$$, be warned,
