Welcome! I've had my 79 for the past 22 years and even a small toolbox would get me back home. A carry-on toolbox must at least include:
1. 7/16" wrench 2. Two 1/2" wrenches (second required to loosen alternator mount) 3. 9/16" wrench 4. Flat blade Screwdriver 5. Philips Head Screwdriver 6. Pliers 7. Small Voltmeter 8. Spare fuses 9. Fan Belt 10. 5/8" Heater Hose with clamps 11. Bicycle brake cables 12. Gallon of Distilled Water 13. Duct Tape 14. Coat Hanger 15. Hairbrush (when I had hair) 16. Cell Phone (previously was a quarter for payphone) 17. Bicycle (for long trips) :-) Gene '79 Spitfire 1500 '88 Jeep Cherokee Triumph Tow Truck http://webpages.charter.net/eighmy/spitfire > > Hello!
