Emergency Parts 140-160

Hey everybody,

after a 1.5 month long nightmare, the day is coming up soon and I'm about to go meet my new-to-me 1974 144 and drive her home.

I'm planning on taking a couple days to change all the fluids, sparkplugs, air, and fuel filters. I'll throw new shocks, springs, steering linkage bushings, and fuel injector seals on while I'm at it. I'm adding a tachometer so I can learn how the engine behaves and I even bought a little amp and some speakers to rig up some more modern entertainment.

Now I'm here to ask you professionals what spare parts you suggest I throw on board before I start the journey.

It's easy enough to plan for generic roadside Macgyver fixes, I'm curious if there are any 140-specific things (reasonably kept in the car) you guys an gals think would be worth their weight in gold to have on a maiden voyage.

Thanks for reading! Look forward to reading any responses.
