Re: Spare parts and tools list
Bluesman,
This is a great and timely question.
I know that I've seen a touring checklist online that includes parts and if I can find it again I will post the link to Ford Barn; however, I admit that I have not picked up all the items on the list for my travels.
I bring with me (or should bring with me) a bag of tools (screwdrivers, wrenches, wire snips, pliers, multi-meter, electrical tape, etc) a bunch of assorted nuts/bolts/pins, some wire, a cut out, a condensor, a point set, distributor cap, a jack and stand, spark plugs, coil, engine oil, 2 gallons of distilled water, headlight bulb. I also keep a bunch of other assorted parts I have collected in a box in the back... and a bar of soap in case I get a fuel leak that needs a quick patch.
On long drives (my first one is planned for next week from NY to Boston) I intend to bring my spare generator and have been told it may make sense to bring a head gasket as well.
I hope this is helpful.
Seth
