Distillate? Means originally ran on 'distillate' fuel- think kerosene and you'll be close. Some parts harder to find- radiator shutters, small fuel tanks, heat shields. Engine basicly same as gas engine, most can run on straight gas with minimal adjustment- they were meant to be started on gasoline and switch to distilate when warm. Some added collector value if still able to run kerosene/TVO. RN.

I don't believe that's what it is,it doesn't have any extra tanks and no hole in the hood as suggested in the other reply, I appreciate all the information being provided, this is a great source of information

Probably converted like many in late 50s on to straight gasoline. Distillate advantage was use of cheap fuel, diesel and jets started using the same light oil fractions from refineries and cost went up. RN
