Inclusions for touring emergencies
Just wondering what you long-time Model A aficionados include in your
on-the-road emergency breakdown kits (parts and tools). Give me an idea! Bill Wondering in my Wandering Last edited by BillEbob; 02-19-2018 at 11:10 PM. |

Re: Inclusions for touring emergencies
Since, from experience, most of my problems on the road have been electrical, I tend to concentrate on those items: spare condenser, points, distributor body & cap, plug strips, Nurex timing wrench, spark plugs, coil, coil wire, and any tools I'd need.
There are numerous lists of what to have with you on tour put together by various folks and clubs. For one example, here's the link to the Palomar A's lists (short, long, and for all) Last edited by SDJason; 02-19-2018 at 09:01 PM. |

Cell phone and AAA card! Most problems are fuel or electrical and spares listed above are good too. While things can and will happen the best thing is to know the condition of your car before you go. I did not see a very simple tool listed, the points file and some card stock to run thru the point.

Re: Inclusions for touring emergencies
I carry a small set of tools for road side trouble shooting and a larger set of tools for general repair.
Here is the small set for troubleshooting. Instruction sheets.jpg TOOLS.jpg STORAGE BOX.jpg Here is the list of all the tools and spare parts I carry and where they are in the vehicle. If the storage location is blank that is an item that is not included.
