In the 70's when my only car was a '29 Roadster I carried a modern equivalent to the original tool kit, spare points and condenser, and a spare generator cutout since I didn't trust the repro on the car. After carrying this stuff for tens of thousands of miles I ended up loaning the cutout to a friend! BTW, I've never had an overdrive.
