For spare parts and supplies I would suggest the following at a minimum:
Fuel pump
Complete distributor with the advance correctly set.
A bit of electrical wire with a few different crimp connectors
Fuses
A throttle return spring for the SU's
Spare coil and plug wire
TOILET PAPER
Wiper blade
Fan Belt
A few feet of fuel hose
Baling wire
An assortment of hose clamps
Of course you'll check your hoses before you leave
Some shop towels
Some containers of Vital Fluids for you AND the car
A really good flashlight
Some Permatex
The factory body jack and a small scissors jack
A multimeter
I wouldn't bother with any engine internals, you're not going to be pulling the engine on the shoulder of I-5, although a spare pushrod wouldn't be unreasonable.
For tools I just bring my whole toolbox minus the specialty bits like ball joint separators that tend to be really heavy...
When I drove my 122 from West Virginia to Oregon a few years back, the only part that failed was the Delco alternator I had adapted to fit the car...
I drove on the battery only for about two hours until I came to a shopping mall with a Montgomery Wards Auto center, walked to Radio Shack and bought a cheap meter to verify that the alternator was dead, walked to the Sears and bought a hacksaw to saw off part of the alternator mount, then walked to monkey Wards and bought an alternator. I was back on the road 1 1/2 hours later.
I've driven all over the place with zero problems, even out to Hart Mountain
Antelope Refuge in eastern Oregon, where I was the ONLY one there without a four wheel drive pickup; who needs a 4WD...the car is from SWEDEN and it's OLD.
