800 mile roadtrip

318willrun said

I treat a classic like any other car when preparing for a trip, with these exceptions:

• extra ballast
• extra fuel hose and clamps
• extra heater hose and clamps
• extra fan belt
• and sometimes and extra fuel pump ... sometimes, and that's only because sometimes them things are not on stock at a local auto parts store.
• ALL OF THESE items can fit in a small box

The ballast is eliminated in my car because I installed the pertronix system, complete with coil. However, I have two ballasts, the original coil, and points all as a backup just in case.

Fuel hose and clamps... check mark
Heater hose and clamps... check mark
Fan belt... I'll snag one on the way through town
Fuel pump is brand spanking new. If somehow it did fail, I would just band aid it with a clicky clacky fuel pump from o'napazone.
