TC EXU Paint

[Stew Koesten]

Some time ago in a NEMGT Registry magazine there was an article that described an "emergency road kit" that is, things to carry with you, besides tools when you travel longer distances. Seems to me one thing was a spare coil, another a spare fuel pump, still another a fan belt. Am I on the correct track with this? Does anyone have such a list or can they direct me to the correct magazine issue? Appreciate the help. Stewart TC8862 EXU
