What do you consider a "long" trip???

I just have what fits under the seat on my coupe---
factory tool kit and jack
points,cond,cap plugs
most of a gasket set
my grease gun for the a
a coathanger
a waterpump with original nos fan
some cotterpins,brake clevis pins
a coil
1 rod
a brake adjusting wrench
light bulbs
starter drive with new spring,bolts and locks

I don't know what else is in there--some of it came with the car,latelyI have only used the grease gun, havn't needed to dig deeper, it is a40 year collection of things I thought I would need, about the only things I have used are condensers, since I got the A&L burnoutproof one I havn't used another one.

As has been mentioned above--if you have an alternator 2 spare belts --you will probably use them-if you use a generator I don't think you need a spare, in 40 years I am still using the same one.

If your car is in good shape before the trip you don't need as much as using the trip to find what breaks(using the trip to restore the car)

For a 100miledrive I might open the hood and check fluids if the car has sat a while

It never hurts to have a friend along that has AAA+

Whatever you have modified from stock --for those things a spare, or original parts to replace what has been modified
