Is this an H manifold?

Mike CA · Sep 18, 2009

I found this at my junkyard. I swear I have seen some like it on an H, but it's not listed in the parts, and it's not sold aftermarket. The modern gas manifold are too skinny for a manifold heat shield, and I don't know of anyone that sells a new or refurbished distillate manifold. I think this one might be wide enough in the center to look presentable behind the heat shield, but have no idea if it's for an H or not.

I would say no. It looks more like an M manifold.

For comparison, here's my M distillate manifold.

Thats a gas manifold, you can measure carb mounting bolt spacing and manifold length to see if its a H or M.
Poster below has a gas manifold pictured also.

Definitely not a distillate manifold, nor is the painted one in the other post

Well, since my pretty painted manifold came off a distillate tractor (has the little fuel tank, but it's rusted clear through...), and the engine has the flat-top distillate pistons and distillate head I assumed the manifold would be distillate too. Apparently some folks that are more familiar with these parts know better. I bought another distillate M tractor yesterday, but I haven't lifted the hood to see what the manifold looks like. Since my manifold has been identified as a gas M manifold, here's a nice up-close of the casting number to help you further confirm the identity of your rusty one; I think the number is 8035DG, but I'm not sure about the last character. Mine measures 20.5 inches tip-to-tip.

Is this an H manifold?
