Back in the '70s my uncle had an 80 acre 'hobby farm' in the clay hills along Pope Creek in West-Central Illinois and he had two WD-45s, a WF & a NF. Both of them had what he called a 'D17 kit' in them. There was still an AC dealership in Alexis at the time and they had dynoed them at 54 (WF) and 56hp (NF).
