One of the M's I rescued this last fall Was originally a distillate model and still has most of the stuff (including flat top pistons) to go back. The main thing missing is the original manifold. It has a gasoline manifold and I'm not sure about the carb, haven't checked the tag yet.
I was toying with the idea of doing some experimenting with the dual fuel setup and I noticed that some of the newer aftermarket manifolds have a lot surface area where the intake and exhaust share a wall. It looks roughly comparable to what the distillate manifolds had although I've only seen the photos in the manuals and photo archive books. I know the originals had the adjustable baffle.
I'm wondering if the aftermarket manifolds would get hot enough to work with a heavier fuel. I'm guessing here as I don't recall ever seeing a factory distillate manifold in person (I assume since so many were converted to gasoline) at a tractor show or anywhere.
Has anyone seen one lately? Have they all been sent to China in little pieces and made into Harbor Freight tools?
