spares you carry in your ride?

[stueeee]

Lots of the people on here must be driving Yanks or cars with Yank motors fitted. The RAC/AA or your nearest Halfords probably won't be much help in a break down if special parts are needed.

so far, under the seat of my '50 (350 V8) Chevy truck I have accumulated:

Spare fan and P/S drive belts.
A spare Edelbrock fuel pump and gasket.
Spare HEI dizzy complete
Couple of spare spark plugs.
plus all the usual spare electrical fuses, wire, baling wire, cable ties etc.

Am I being paranoid about things going wrong or is something important missing here? What do you guys carry around in your rod?

A coil. The fella (Jim) that bought my 46 broke down on the way home due to a bad coil. I never drove it far enough in one go for the problem to occur when I had it.
Then all the usual stuff.
