H distillate manifold vs gasoline

I am rebuilding an engine that had a distillate manifold on it and it is beyond repair. I was wondering if a gasoline manifold would fit and work okay or if I should find a distillate one?
 
The gas manifold is the best thing you will ever do to make that H run right. There is good flow through them, no pits rust ,cracks and corrosion that the old manifold will have. I fixed a manifold(weld) on one H I have, it worked OK but I put a new gas manifold on another H I bought and its a better tractor because of the manifold alone.
 
Just keep in mind that the after-market one will work with your carb. (2 1/2" bolt pattern) factory ones will be 3" and will need a different carburator off a gas burner.
 
Thanks,
I will see if the one off a gas one will work as well as the carb from it. I understand in the replys that the carb from the original will NOT work on the gas one. Right!
 
Some where made with slotted holes so that 2 1/2 and 3 inch bolt pattern will work. If the manifolds holes are slotted, yours would work fine.

I bought the aftermarket gas manifold for my H from Bermuda Ken at 1-866-FARMALL and it has the slotted holes to fit both carburetors.

I would suppose that the larger carb could possibly make more power if the engine also had the higher compression head and pistons installed...
 
Size wise only one size carburetor was made for H tractors. If you have a gas manifold a distillite carburetor will bolt right on. In stock form the fuel metering was a little different, But there is a lot of H tractors with distillite carburetors on gas manifolds around. SH manifolds and carb size is a different story.
 
Thanks to all-I found an old gas one, will see if it will work when cleaned up, already know the threads are rusted out for exhaust pipe. Am also going to see if the carb is useable too.
