Mobile Tool Kit

[Marlin F.]

My Pertronix Ignitor II shot craps after only 18 months a couple of blocks from my home. No big deal but it got me wondering: What small engine components and tools should I have on hand for 'issues' while out on the road? Can one switch out the Pertronix for points and condenser if needed? What other things should I be prepared to remedy?

Re: Mobile Tool Kit

I used to carry the tool kit and spare parts (along with some other vital products) for the road tour -- but I had a Suburban. I will photograph my tool roll from when I used to drive the 1970 later and post it up. With modern cars I carry a cell phone. That might be a useful tool for older cars as well.

Hey Dick; he posted it as '66. I don't think he wants to know what we do with the new cars.

I do see a lot of posts on here that the folks with Petronix or the like carry a set of points with them for "just in case." I don't have that kind of system, so no points in there.

My tool kit with 800.222.4357 programmed in. Like Terry, with the new cars, it is beyond the bailing wire, duct tape, and a big hammer repair.
