At least 10' of both sizes of Diesel rated fuel hose , plus some of those band clamps and two fuel filters .
A box or two if the correct copper fuses in 8 , 16 & 30 amperes .
A complete original took kit including the 23 MM secondary fuel filter wrench .
Several bottles of Diesel Kleen .
A box of good quality rubber gloves .
Spare bulbs , # 1156 , 1157 & 631 , at least two of each .
The jumper cables have to be good ones ~ those # 6 gauge $25 ones are worthless , less so with a Diesel .
You were born on Key West ? neat .
I want to go there just to look one of these days .

In an interesting twist of fate, Sylvia will be returning to her original stomping grounds in the US, Florida (the original owner was based somewhere in Florida, I still find sand in the crevices and corners of the car when cleaning somewhere I hadn't already).
My son is attending his first year of flight school @ Florida Tech in Melbourne, FL.
We're taking Sylvia from Boston to Virginia, then she boards the Amtrak Auto Train in Lorton, VA bound for Sanford, FL overnight.
From there we pick him up in Melbourne, then to my birthplace, Key West for a Thanksgiving feast at the very end of US Route 1.
We'll leave her in his hands until when/if he decides to drive her home at the end of freshman year.
Have had her in the local Mercedes diesel specialist for a complete once-over and the yearly valve adjustment. She seems to be running better now than ever....but.....if YOU were going to make the trip, what would you do to help re-assure your spouse and children they won't be standing outside the guard rail waiting for AAA?
For example, this will be my opportunity to give my son his first automotive toolbox. What would you put in the toolbox? We've already got the obligatory jumper cables, bottles of this fluid and that fluid, etc.
As always, your thoughts, comments & advice always appreciated...
