To change your spark plugs you'll need some ...well I call them deep well sockets to fit over the end of the plugs. Other than that, it's hard to say My collection grows as I need stuff! LOL "Crap! I need this"..run to Sears..I think you get the picture.
Inexpensive soldering Iron and 1 pound 24 gauge 50 / 50 solder.
Good Wire Crimp kit and crimper pliers.
Fluorescent Drop lamp.
Feeler gauge.
Plug gap gauge ring.
Insulated Fuse pullers (for home type main fuses, good for pulling running plug wires!)
5/8's and 13/16's Spark plug sockets (if your basic tool kit does not have them.)
An inexpensive Hydraulic Floor jack.
Jack stands.
Creeper.
Drip pan or oil Catch pan and tray.
A couple of bundles of $1.99 Washable Rag bundles.
Basic First aid kit.
This is the tool kit My Bro and I just outfitted my 17 Year old Nephew with To do his FIRST project Truck..a Frame off Dodge..
You can buy this stuff a little at a time , each payday, or splurge on the plastic..
Unless I forgot something (and I probably did..) this should see you through any project while you learn..The most important lesson..Take care of your tools , no matter how inexpensive they may be..someday, they will be the expensive brands..
Get yourself a good tool box chest. Even if you find a bigger one at a swap meet cheap you'll be surprised how fast you can fill it. Put some rubber matting in the bottom of each drawer and some decals on the outside of her and everyone will think you know what you are doing. :mwink:

Maybe it took a year to come back with a snappy answer.
