Hosie,

If you look at 34PackardRoadsta's response, I think he has the answer you are after.

I'm pretty sure the 170107 is the engine number. The Packard Club has a listing of cars with the series numbers for the engines. 170107 corresponds to the 1929 Deluxe Eight engine series.

I made the early assumption that it was a 29 or 30 engine based on the cylinder equalizing tube, manifold design, mounting for the choke activated cylinder wall lubricator and other engine details.
