What safety/security equipment do you...

[67HEAVEN]

...carry in your solid axle or midyear Corvette?

I carry a fire extinguisher, road flares, extra engine oil, wind-up flashlight, 12-volt trouble light, extra fuses, assortment of wrenches, screwdrivers, jumper wire, assorted pills for the MSD, etc. I also carry a copy of the original order showing the 2N14AB SIDE DUAL EXHAUST to help explain to those baby-faced traffic cops why my car is so damn loud.

I'd like to add a few items that I haven't thought of for those 1,600-mile round trips to Bowling Green. Let's hear what's in your Corvette.

Spare Pertronix. Never leave home without it.

 

[JohnZ]

I carry a small Rubbermaid plastic toolbox (just fits in the passenger side stowage compartment) with sockets, wrenches, pliers, screwdrivers, fuses, wire, points and condenser, knife, shop rags, test light, 2 spark plugs, a couple sizes of hose clamps, mini-Maglite flashlight, etc. - have never had to use it. Also carry a cell phone and AAA flatbed card and a Halon extinguisher.

Spare fan/alternator belt...JM2C

 

[paul67]

OK, I will add another and suffer the consequences here. A pair of pantyhose in case of a belt failure. Nothing stronger than nylon and a universal fit.

As for me,,,,

Along with an assortment of all necessary roadside tools, including a hydraulic jack, and a jack stand, I also carry 12 volt trouble light, tire iron, and a generous mix of fluids. I have quarts of motor oil, brake, and power steering fluids, radiator stop leak, and one of every belt used on the engine. It goes without saying that I never leave home without my CAA card, and also carry two cans of fix-a-flat, with my fire extinguisher. Last but not least, a spare electronic ignition module from " Lectric Limited " in case mine should ever fail.

Should I not be able to get, or keep it running with all this, I'll have it hauled home on a flat bed.

Well I have never travled further then 3 hours from home with any of my collector cars. I have always had just a small bag of tools and fuses.

I always have a credit card and some cash.

I have said it before I am nervous about the BG trip and I am unsure of what to pack.

Meet us in Buffalo and we'll travel together.

I really have to spend some time mapping this out. As bufflo is about a 7 hr run for me.

How much further do we have to go from there?

PS I will be up in niagra falls on buisness next week ,How far are you from the falls

Of course you've never had to use it...but leave it behind one time....

And you've carried the pair of pantyhose with the "in case of a belt failure" excuse ever since your wife found a pair in the car that weren't her color, right? otfl

I also carry some small aligator clip jumper leads, a multi meter, elec tape, and I don't leave home without my tire plug kit. Some times there's a compressor around. Just plug the hole and fill'er up. Had to do that a couple of times.

HOLLEY CARB STUF

Don't forget those Holley carb parts. Those metal boxes AOL disc came in are perfect for bowl and metering block gaskets, with room for spare jets. Also don't forget to carry a spare Holley fuel pump(for those of you who have 502's with no mechanical fuel pump provision), you never know when one will die. Its easier to have the fuel fittings already installed in the pump for when you are on the side of the road cussing holley.Carry a small neetle nose vice grip to shut off the fuel to the pump by crimping the fuel line. As you can tell from above advice I have been there. John
