Dave, I have an M that had distillate pistons, head, and manifold. I kept the head and rebuilt the engine with gas step head pistons to make up for the loss of hp with the distillate head and I replaced the manifold with a new gas manifold and it runs great. Go with the gasser unless your looking to restore the tractor to original...
Distillate was a cheaper less HP option around WWII and they made them through the Super MTA I believe. The tractor started on gas (You should have a small tank in front of the larger tank or at least a hole in the hood for the fill hole) and then was switched to distillate once the engine was hot.
