battery to coil , or starter feed to coil. Hey presto, ignition.
I don't have a tool roll, I just keep tools under the seat. I have 3 cars on the road, so 3 sets of tools. I have been blessed (or perhaps cursed) to have inherited about a ton (in weight) of whitworth tools.
I carry lot, mainy as I use the car as its own toolbox. I maintain my cars at two locations (home and a rented shed), so having enough to do most maintenance items in each car means I don't have to worry about moving tools about. Needless to say I have jacks at both locations as well as whitworth socket sets.
This is what I carry in one of the cars, the other two are probably similar, though not identical. I also carry zip ties, a small bag of nuts/bolts/washers. Plus a jack.

For shits and giggles some time ago, I worked out which tools I used while changing an engine on the RP. These are pictured below. Frankly, not sure why I need anything beyond this, but I carry it anyway. The spanner in the 2nd picture was an addition, the speedo cable on this particular car had a hex nut which wasn't imperial (well it certainly wasnt whit) and was too tight for my hand, luckily when you have a endless supply of spanners and an angle grinder, a spanner can be any size you want it to be. I could have used the mole grips, but I'm not an animal. That particular spanner lived in that car now.
