Spare CD unit, set of points, decent jack and cheap tire air compressor.
That is what took on a recent 3K drive to Monterrey and back. You got to have some hand tools and baling wire/duct tape. HTH

Number one priority...spare fan belt and the tools to change it. I know it was mentioned before, but it bears repeating. If you lose a belt, pull over IMMEDIATELY...to not do so will cook an engine pronto.

Good replies.
How are the seats? A pillow. New wiper blades before you leave. Oh, and make sure they work. A few towels. Never travel without your towel.  Good flashlight, extra batteries. Gloves. A good map.

The only thing I would add is to make sure all the fluids are topped off before you go. Bring some oil - I'd check it after 100 miles and then again every few hundred if it's not using any.
