That's correct. I could have used more dots per inch too, because the picture came out a little grainy. That book was originally published in 1973, so you see Ak developed this turbo kit very early while Ford was still importing them. I would guess the kit was marketed via the Gran Turismo company, or perhaps AutoSport Products/Shelby; both companies were fronts for Ford.

An interesting side note: Ak, being the hot-rodder that he was, liked turbo charging very much. He was in the fore front in the hot rod world when it came to installing turbo chargers in cars; long before it became popular in the 1980's.
