Thank you, guys! A lot of wise words!
Here in Russia we don't have anything like AAA, EFV8 doesn't exist either. A friend will go in my wake in a modern SUV as a back-up. The car is in sound condition, I have a Powermaster alternator, modern waterpumps, a modern starter and rebuilt carb so I don't expect troubles there. I guess it would be a good idea to take an ignition coil, a distributor, condenser, fuel pump and a belt. Axle jack and spare tire for sure, but I don't plan on changing inner tubes - we have a lot of soviet era cars that still use inner tubes so that's not a problem and tire shop are numerous along the way. Tools, water, oil. Vodka as a handcleaner
Unfortunately, handguns are against the law.
And the wife - she's questioning the sanity of loving old cars since the day I brought Ford V8 home so no need for that
