The only thing I an interesed in caring is parts that are known problems, that I can not do without. For example, I would never carry a starter, because having a 5 speed, I can catch it in gear, and drive 1000 miles, home. Here is my list:

alt/water pump belt complete ditributor coil cigar tube fuel maiinfold hose repair kit ECU Alternator hose clamps ty-warps all sizes

I know I'm missing somthing send me your ideas... ERic
