Buy a AAA Premire Membership...about $70....it gives you 200 of free towing...$1,000 of rooms & food in case of breakdown...or car rental. I travel all the time in 50+ year old vehicles (25,000 miles in the last 15 years). I've used this 3 or 4 times over the years.
My son & I drove a 51 3600...235 w/T5 tranny 9000 miles last year. Lost a generator (replaced with an alternator)go ahead & get a bracket kit from Patricks you'll want to carry it w/ you..if no problems you'll still change out that nasty generator eventually....
