Good points... I'll bring along an extra fuel pump, some different plugs(the ones that were in there were very black and coated with gunkiness), my wires just because they're nothing special and not hard to take off or anything. I don't have a spare distributor anymore, I just sold it last week... So should I take the one off my 142? Or just risk it and drive it back as it is? Leaving the gas in there should be fine too, it did start up and drive on it, so yeah, popping some premium in there should be fine. I really wonder what head is on it and what the compression is though... So I have somewhere to set the timing as a baseline... I'll probably set it at 10 and keep my foot outta it if I hear anything at any time. And for the tires, since most places charge for air now, I'll just bring a bike pump =D.

And the carbs already have gunk in them, well, grit, so how do I go about keeping that from flooding the float bowls while I drive it around? I guess that means the only thing I really need to do is give the tires a look over, then adjust the carbs, clean them out? somehow anyway, to prevent gritting up while driving, set the timing and that's about it...?

Coolio, and yeah, I'd much prefer it breaking while wrenching on it at my own house, rather than a couple hundred miles away.

Thanks for the support guys! I would/will always keep you updated... ;)
