Just curious...do you have an emergency kit and what's in it for those unexpected stops?

I have thought about this topic before...
I have mostly what my dad had under the back seat.
I just recently went through all of it and added a jack and a couple of little things.
In 2 cigar boxes are light bulbs, tire patches, pieces of wire, cotter pins, various nuts and bolts, points and condenser.
A couple front wheel bearings and a seal, a distributor cap and rotor, a couple spark plugs, oil, a can of grease, a timing gear.
A tool box full of other little parts and tools, like a hub puller, tire spoons and another box not under the seat with most every hand tool you can fit in it.
And a couple gallons of water.
It's amazing how much you can fit under the seat !

The timing gear is there because he had on strip out in the middle of nowhere.
Had tools, coasted into a driveway and left me with the car while he walked a couple miles to the one horse town. Got to bsing at the corner market and an old boy said, "my dad had a T he kept in a barn down the street". They went there and kicked one up out of the dirt floor of the barn.
Came back and in about 4 hours total, we were back on the road !!

We had a old boy in our club who once listed the spares he carried. It took up 2 pages of the club magazine!

Recent experience tells me if you have tools in your car, use different ones at home. I found myself far from home and without the wrench I forgot to put back in the car.

Also don't pack a full size tube of sealant. After you use a little the rest will all set up before you need to use any more. It's better to carry two or three smaller tubes so you always have a fresh one.

Along with Steve's suggestion, I have a tool kit in each of my Ts. I trade tools when at swap meets, so I have way too many to choose from. By having a set in each car, I don't have to transfer them and remember to put them back. Some cars have limited space and the boxes they are stored in are often chosen just to fit that spot.

Allan from down under.

I haven't gone on any long adventures (yet) so my most important tool is my cell phone.

Ok..oops my bad..should have googled. :0)

A spare Coil, spare Spark Plug, The tool kit that Ford supplied or their modern equivalents, Spare tube and patch kit, a spare lug bolt and nut, "Gorilla Tape", 4 frozen bottles of water, AAA card and Cell Phone!

Fire extinguisher, cell phone, AAA card. I have Triple A plus for towing. I also have a Hagerty towing policy.

You can tell that the man who packed my back seat road kit, never had the luxury of a cell phone.
We all have it easy !! lol

I carry a spare axle and Ujoint among other things and have used them both on occasion. NEVER run out of beer is the main thing. With beer everything is better.

Zip ties...
One thing you don't need, is the elusive 10mm wrench !

Hub puller, hub wrench, exhaust pack nut wrench, spark plug wrench, a full set of box end wrenches & sockets, screwdrivers, cotter pins, various pliers, electrical tape, and a pair of gloves.

Lets see, whats in my box. Original tool set ah,
registration, one coil, air pump under back seat.
cooler with Bud. Have never ever needed the tools.
And this car is prancing around while I sleep. my youngest son doing that. Don't need antifreeze
cause it's always going. I shut my mouth because
at least This kid acts my age His life? No girl,
no life, never miss a day at work, his stash, one
1934 4dr V8 one slant 31 model A. Maybe a chance
I just could take a ride in my 23 just maybe: or steal it back from this kid;;all LOL....

I carry the standard set of T wrenches and jack but also:

exhaust pipe wrench
9/16 box wrench since this is a common size
modern screw driver with plastic handle
small screw driver for mag contact
spare coil and spare spark plug
spare light bulbs
small grease gun
wire cutters and some steel wire
cloth rags
zip lock bag with moistened hand cleaners
small tin of cotter pins
small tube of Permatex 2
length of electrical wire with alligator clips on both ends


I also switched out the transmission door screws with hex head bolts and carry an offset wrench for those

I used to carry a lot of stuff, but tools are heavy and Model T Fords don't go uphill very well when they're weighed down with a lot of cargo. -It's not as though we have power to spare.

Taking a second look with a more realistic attitude regarding what repairs I'd actually be willing to enact on the road meant off-loading a good deal of weight.

First overboard was the tire-changing stuff. -When I got a flat tire two years ago, I wasn't about to tackle the repair on the road, in the blazing summer heat. -For crippled old farts like me, levering a tire off a rim, stuffing in a new tube and levering the tire back on is an effectuation of Odyssean magnitude, best accomplished in the comfort of my own garage, with an electric fan, a bathroom, a couple of cold drinks and no need to get the job done by nightfall. -I whipped out my trusty cell-phone, called Hagerty and availed myself of their excellent, collector car-specializing flatbed service—and the tow operator actually had fluffy velvet sleeves over his chains (which meant, either he was extremely careful not to damage antique cars or I didn't want him dating my daughter).

Inner-tube valve cores weigh nothing, so I carry one or two of those. -And there's a pair of dykes, regular pliers, needle-nose pliers, a handful of crescent wrenches and a pair of small adjustable wrenches. -Then there's a couple of flat-head screwdrivers (including a "Quick-Wedge" screw-holding type). -And there's an oil can for the timer, a sprinkling of cotter-pins and zip-ties, sunglasses and a few other lightweight odds and ends. -I also keep aboard a few clean rags, a roll of paper towels, some brass polish, a spare spark-plug or two and a spare coil. -Oh, and there's also a pad and pen. -Most important is that aforementioned cell-phone. -It all fits in a small running-board toolbox a little bigger than a 12-volt battery.

On the other running-board is an accordion rack holding a big wicker picnic basket. -In there, I keep all the silly costume stuff... stick-on mustaches, funny hats, bonnets, red suspenders, Col. Sanders bow-ties, goggles, etc. -I use that stuff more than anything. -Some car shows require a first-aid kit and a fire extinguisher, the (latter of which I consider to be non-optional), so those are in the basket, too.
