What roadside repairs have you made to keep your A going

[Big hammer]

50 some years ago bringing my new to me A home crossed a rail road and she quit. Pull over and turned it off, got out to take a break the weather was hot. Got back in and it started, had problems every now and then, working the key would clean the contacts. About a month later was cleaning the engine at a car wash and let the smoke out of some wires under the hood, pulled the battery cable off and let it set for a couple hours it started up. Driving home from school turned a corner and slid into the curb on ice, put it reverse got out and pushed it over the road crown got in and drove home. Last year was driving on a highway and the radiator cap came off, stopped and walked back 1/4 miles found the cap, after tweaking the cap retaining tabs ( one was almost rusted completely off) reinstall finished the drive.
