I have a question for anyone out there that may have an answer on this.
I just got the book "Falcon, The new size Ford". In the book there is a scanned image from what looks like an order book for a 170 High Performance Kit. (Part # C2dz 68068-A). The scanned image stated:
"The completeness of this high performance Falcon kit adds sparked performance to the 170 Falcon engine. It provides durability during sustained high-speed highway driving. This kit offers that "Extra Punch" when needed for passing and attaining higher top speeds".
The caption for the picture said that the kit "Consisted of a revised cam and valve train, increased capacity fuel system, special distributer and revised cylinder head and heavy duty drive shaft".
Has anyone ever heard of this kit, was it a widely available option, and if so, what were the actual benefits of the kit? Extra power and torque?
Thanks!!
