This was Tom's list in 1995:
COMMON THINGS TO CARRY:
Spare fan belt (put on a new one, and toss the old one into the trunk...
this insures you have one that fits!)
Carb Floats (once again, I keep my 'old ones' in the trunk)
Ignition and tune up parts (cap & rotor, ignition points, condenser,
and a set of spark plugs).
Wrenches: 10, 12, and 14mm and a small adjustable one.
Screwdrivers: Slot and Phillips
"Test light" (either a commercial 12V one, or a 12Volt bulb with two
leads terminated with alligator clips.
Pocket Knife & Flashlight are always handy!
Length of wire (6' of 14 gauge). & a couple of paper clips.
Spare coolant and quart of oil, and brake fluid.
Duct Tape (if a hose is torn, tape it up with duct tape, and leave the
pressure cap off until you can replace it... take it easy on
a hot day driving!).
For longer trips, upper and lower radiator hoses, and "caps" for the heater
hose fittings
I also carry 6' of 1/4" fuel line hose, and a small 'Universal" electric
fuel pump. I keep meaning to make a wooden box to fit into the "fender" of
the trunk, to store everything in.
