Thanks Ned,
I'm ordering parts - I'm getting the 2 intake manifold/crossover pipe 
gaskets, new fuel pipe clips and new GPs.

Is there anything else I should have on hand?  I already have 1/4" &  3/8" 
torque wrenches - but it sounds like it'll be easier if I get some wobble 
sockets or extensions -

Except for having a minature mechanic in my tool box - is there anything I'm 
forgetting?  Is any gasket compound recommended for the intake manifold 
gasket or does it go on dry?

Thanks for your and others comments -

Sincerely,
Larry T ('74 911, '67 MGB, 91 300D Turbo)
