Things I should Know-long trip planned

The dist and carb type stuff are your biggest risks. Test drive your car, and make sure the water temp is not climbing. If it is questionable before you leave home it will not get any better. Put on a new fanbelt. If ya have a hub puller of any sort throws that in the trunk, with the gallon jugs of water mentioned above.

Adjust your brakes, check the air in your spare tire. I bet you will be fine.

Thanks Gene I was going to take a spare carb , I thought about running electronic ignition or taking a spare distributor . I am hoping I can get it sorted so I’m not having to haul water .
Thanks

If you do convert to electronic ignition, a spare distributor becomes a necessity (one with points). This has been proven too many times.

Oh ok maybe I should not then if that’s the case , if it has been proven then I will stick with points……sometimes an upgrade …..is not a upgrade

Denny I actually laughed out loud for real when I read this because the second I read the post about electronic ignition I couldn't wait to respond similarly and there you were. Right on it!
