500 miles? I've done worse!

Ship a cooler full of tools and any parts you know it needs (HEI converson maybe) and have the UPS or whomever on the other end hold the package till you get there (or a friend/board member close to the area) and drive.
A laptop with free wi-fi at a hotel or Mc D's will get you info you may need, a AAA card and cell phone will get you to the next town if needed, and a 5 gallon can of gas in the bed will get you to the next station if you discover the guage isn't any good. (a junk yard spare is a good idea if there's nothing in the bed)
