Brake fluid (small container)
Fuel Pump (in my case electric)
Ignition resistor (12v systems with 6v coil only)
Fuel filter, new (in my case inline)
12 ft rubber gas line (tape the ends with electrical tape to prevent contamination)
Hose clamps; gas, coolant and heater hose
Fan belt
Modern fire extinguisher
Tail light bulb
Flashlight w/magnet
Multi-meter (mine includes dwell)
Towels/rags
Hand cleaner
U-joint (one)
Brass fittings to terminate a broken brake line
Small bag of assorted bolts, nuts and lock washers

Besides the regular:
Tools

What about you? What other items do you/should you carry?

Re: End of the world kit
That's a good list, Dr Deuce.... But don't forget the duct tape ! 
I usually cary a small roll of mechanic's wire, also.

Re: End of the world kit
Since having one lock up on me I always carry a generator bearing P/No 6203. Once bitten, twice shy.
On that occasion I got home by cutting a section out of the fan belt and joining the ends with a staple made of fencing wire. By shortening the belt to only drive the water pump I was able to proceed on the battery alone. It's possible to travel a large distance with the battery supplying the ignition only.
