Well I have been busy with life and doubt there are an current members that would even recognize my username but thought about this forum and the good times I had on here and wanted to touch base. I am about to make a 7 hour trip in my 66’ Restomod Sunday AM from Waycross, Ga to Asheville, NC in my car and wanted to get yalls input as to what all should be packed in the truck in case the old Girl decides to drop me. I plan on an oil change and obviously will check all the fluids but really wanted to hear from you guys who have taken such a leap of faith and what items you may have regretted not packing. This car should be road worthy but being that it is supercharged and untested I am obviously going to have tools,
fluids and a back up plan just in case.
Thoughts?

Untested?

What does that mean exactly?

Well being supercharged I would say a fat wallet filled with gas money.
If you are running a standard coil then I would def bring a spare. I always carry anything I have a spare for such as alternator, starter, fuel pump.
Then for sure fuel filters and a little fuel hosing and always plenty off fuses.
A multimeter too.
