[W126 Coupe] going to replace the

[Dick Spellman]

Needed:
throttle body gasket (mates to intake)
fuel distributor o-ring

May be needed:
vac line and connectors to the throttle body
Fuel distributor control piston seal (test now before removing to see if it
leaks)
Rubber base to air flow meter housing
Hoses for the air-idle solenoid

I think that's pretty much it.

btw: you may find that the throttle body just needs a good cleaning
especially where the hinge points on the throttle plate pass though the
throttle body.  These get a carbon build-up preventing the plate (hence the
switch) from going to a closed position.
So, with TB removed try toothbrush, carb cleaner, gloves then test switch
for idle and WOT with a vohm meter on the bench and again once reinstalled
on intake.
