FWIW -- The parts I carry are: points, condensor, coil, dizzy cap, one
sparkplug, one sparkplug wire that's as long as the longest on the
engine, spare hoses, fan belt, and a fuse.  

In addition to the usual assortment of tools I have wire, multimeter,
duct tape, electrical tape, baling wire, hose clamps, tube of permatex, 
fresh can of brake fluid, quart of oil, tailight bulb, wheel chock, a
plastic quart bottle (filled with water could be used for gas), a few
pieces of coathanger wire and 2 lengths of wire with alligator clips on
each end.

Specific to the TR3A: a stubby flathead screwdriver for accelerator
linkage.

Of course I go nowhere without a fire extinguisher and a fire blanket.

That may sound like a lot but takes very little space, particularly if
you get creative in how you package and store specific to your model of
car.

BTW -- I'll be interested in other's replies but wonder what strange
things are being carried?  e.g. I always have a few British items along
as a sort of talisman (AA guide from the 50s, can of Travelling Sweets,
map of the UK, a lighting-up table...)
