Road trip

Took a long road trip 25 years ago in my first duster.

1/2 way there the alternator went to full charge, smoked the battery and wiring, but that side of the dash the lights did not work, so did not realize it until I shut the car off for gas.

I had an extra alternator, but no wiring or battery.
A night in the motel, taxi ride to the parts store for some wire, a points distributor and a battery had it running the next morning.

Good luck finding the parts in today's stores on the shelf.

Extra cash, parts, pistol, and tools will get you home.
