I found this list interesting. It is a list of the things to take with you on a 'trip' (maybe going further than your roadside rescue insurance covers.)

Shop manual
Jumper cables
Tire pressure gauge
Fire extinguisher
Road flares (these are by definition folding reflectors, not fusees, the things that you see burning at accident scenes.)
Flashlight
Rags/paper towels
Oil
Brake fluid
Starting fluid
RTV silicone sealant
Razor blade (sharp knife?)
Collapsible container for water/gas
Duct tape
Electrical tape
Distributor cap & rotor
Spark plugs and wires
Ingition coil, points, consensor
Parts and instructions to convert back to points-type ignition
Hacksaw blade
Hose clamps
Bailing wire
Fuses, light bulbs
Points feeler gauge, points file and sandpaper
Electric wire, end fitting terminals
Stripper/crimper pliers
Timing light
Compression tester
Continuity tester
Remoter starter switch
Nylon zip cable ties
Fuel hose and hose clamps
Fan belt
Carb diaphrams
Heater valve bypass
Long 1/2" bolts with threads cut off to plug heater hoses
Radiator cap and thermostat
3/16" compression fittings to repair oil gauge line
Electric fuel pump with correct inlet/outlet fittings
Alternator - pre wired

This is a suggested list from the 6-Pack club forum. I think the only thing missing is a trailer to haul it all! Also, the list is obviously not in order of necessity. For example, fan belt should be at or near the top of the list and something ALWAYS in the boot!
