<VV> Whatd'yapack (Mechanically) for the trip?

[Bryan Blackwell]

I did add the fuel pump suggested by Norm and others.  I'll note 
regarding the points that

"Complete distributor and timing light (I use electronic ignition and 
have tried to swap out the point plate at night - yes it was the 
reluctor)"

is already on the list.  I'll add one other thought - use some common 
sense.  Typically I travel in fairly densely populated areas, so the 
likelihood of really needing to fix a car by the side of the road is 
quite low.  If I were traveling through more remote areas, or going to 
a competitive event, taking some tools along would be a good idea.

I'll reiterate, tho, that if you have doubts about the car making it, 
don't drive it.  Fix it, then enjoy the trip.  Hope all of the 
convention goers this year do just that!
