    Glad you're feeling more confident with it now. It was good to see you at the Shelton meet.

    Some things to increase your confidence:

    - Carry a "spares kit" and tools: points, condenser, coil, rotor, distributor cap, spark plugs, fan belt, spark plug wire (the longest needed on your car), generator brushes, oil, premixed antifreeze/water, etc., and a tool kit with the tools needed to put them on. Some go to the next level, and have a starter, generator, water pump, distributor, etc., but that might be a little much. Although the idea of a distributor with all parts, all adjusted and ready to go, is appealling, as its probably easier to change a distributor along the road than to put in points. I swear, those blasted little tiny screws get smaller every year.

    - Carry your membership directory.

    - Have cell phone numbers of the guys who have some mechanical skills and usually go to our meets. For our area, Steve W., Frank H., Dick R. would be good- there are others, as well, whose names escape me. I'd be happy to help as well, but those guys are better mechanics. BUT I do "have car trailer, will travel!"

    - Be sure your spare tire, lug wrench and jack are in good shape and ready to go. Have some triangular wood blocks for "chocking" the wheels.

    Ended up at two car shows with my 1950 Pacemaker (50-A) last weekend. People were amazed that I told them to "go ahead, open the door and sit in it". There were smiles ear to ear.

    Had my wife's 53 at the Mobtown Greaseball this past weekend, it was as usual, the only Hudson there. We are driving it 3 hours to Va in 2 weeks for another show, it has not been on a trip longer than an hour in about 30 years.
