what parts do I need to order when replacing GP's on 300SDL?

I am wanting to replace the glow plugs on my new '87 300SDL this weekend. The light only comes on intermittently but I know the plugs are working by how easy it starts. I'm going to go the route of removing the intake manifold. Is all I need to order the intake manifold gasket and the six plugs? They list some air distribution gasket and I didn't know if that was for the cross-over pipe? Are there any other gaskets I need to order except for the one?
Thanks
David

You will need 3 gaskets for the intake manifold. 1 large oring where the cross over fits into the other pipe by the egr. A flat gasket for the crossover to the manifold. Also a manifold gasket.

When I had mine off I filled it with kerosene and cleaned all of the ege crud out with a cheap pipe brush.

Two things I wished I had replaced while I was in their was the temp sensor for the temp guage. Also I wish I had done that clear return line on the other side of the IP. It cost less than $20 if I remember correctly the sensor I was told ran about $25.

Also get some clips for the hard injector lines, all of the old ones will be very brittle. Brian C might still have some of the egr plate kits, his are nice and you can remove the valve all together. Or you can get another gasket and stick a plate in their and bolt the egr back on.

In my case, I only replaced #4 and #6. No gasket required.

Best Regards,
Jim

What parts are those listed as on fastlane Hattie? The "Charge air line to charge air distribution line" is the only other intake manifold gasket listed. Could you please be specific?
Thanks
David
