- Bad ignition rotor (This was is the only time - so far - that I have had
to have my Healey towed.)
- Fuel pump failed. (I made it home by banging on the bulkhead.)
- Bad electrical connection to the fuel pump (This happened right after I
replaced the wiring harness.)
- Broken piston ring (Fortunately this happened about 150 feet from my
driveway.)
Based on previous bad experiences attempting to repair an older car by the
side of the road I do not carry any tools other than a jack and a knockoff
hammer. The only spare parts that I carry are an inner tube, distributor
cap, and rotor. Granted, it can be expensive to have a car towed, but
sometimes the damage that one does when attempting a roadside repair without
proper tools and/or in a less than ideal environment can be greater.
