Expert Posts: 2264 Location: McComb, Mississippi | I'm thinking about making a small emergency kit to carry in the glovebox of my Imperial. So far, it'll consist of a flat blade/Philips head screwdriver, ballast resistor, ignition module, fuses, couple of spare relays, multimeter, and flashlight. Do any of you carry such a kit? If so, any other small pieces that you can suggest to go along with my kit? Thanks | ||

I travel all over Sweden and it can be long distances between open service facilities. Hence; Electric jack Jackstands aluminum Carbon oxide flask with tire repair kit Socket set Full tool case All ignition parts Spark plugs Fuel pump Carburetor small parts Rubber hoses Hose clamps Electrical wires FSM Front wheel bearings (one big and one small) (IMG_1457-res.jpg) (IMG_1456-res.jpg) (IMG_1458-res.jpg) Attachments ---------------- IMG_1457-res.jpg (151KB - 149 downloads) IMG_1456-res.jpg (180KB - 142 downloads) IMG_1458-res.jpg (188KB - 153 downloads) | ||

Expert Posts: 2264 Location: McComb, Mississippi | Wow, those are impressive. I'm thinking ignition coil and needle and seat along with the parts I mentioned earlier. | ||

Expert Posts: 3577 Location: Blythewood, SC | I carry a socket set, some wrenches, pliers, adjustable wrench, srew drivers, some wire, and a cell phone. Realistically, I'm not likely to try to hard to fix something on the side of the road. I'll just call a flatbed and have it towed home and fix it right. | ||

Expert Posts: 3777 Location: NorCal | You can bet that whatever you have in your kit it won't be what you need in a breakdown. My kit is a cell phone and credit card. | ||

Board Moderator & Exner Expert 10K+ Posts: 13050 Location: Southern Sweden - Sturkö island | Yes, that's Murphy's law! And most probably the reason I never had a breakdown out on a road trip. I have helped many friends and guys with problems though. To see a troubled face shine up in a smile over just one hose clamp and some water is priceless | ||

Location: Parts Unknown | About 25 years ago, at a NDC National meet, a group did an organized tour over the Santa Cruz Mountains. Somebody in the group just sorta "lost power" to the wheels, and a quick inspection revealed a snapped axle ! I was about drop jawed when another member popped off with "Hold on a minute, I've got one in my trunk" and returned with the needed part !!! | ||
