Most important: cell phone & AAA+ card.=20

Beyond that depends on what, realistically, you are willing to do on the=20
side of the road. =C2=A0Fan belt, hoses, fuses, and enough tools to replace=
 them.=20
I like to carry a DMM with clip leads and some extra DOT 5 (because it can=
=20
be hard to find in stores). =C2=A0Some drinking water is always welcome on =
long=20
trips, and in an emergency can fill the radiator enough to limp to a fillin=
g=20
station.=20

I carry a spare distributor (loaded with cap, rotor, points, wires) in the=
=20
center of the spare tire (along with the belt & hoses in a zip-lock bag), a=
s=20
well as a backup electric fuel pump. =C2=A0Never needed them myself, but ot=
hers=20
in the caravan have. (5 of us once spent the better part of a Sunday=20
afternoon roaming around the Oregon countryside, 800 miles from home,=20
looking for a TR4A rotor.)=20
