Never  heard of it and took a quick internet look.  Found that it was an  
"engine cleaner".  I did not see "injector cleaner".  Any  adverse effect 
on 
45ish year old Rochester  carbs?

older "Techroline".
 
Some Chevron history:
 
 
Attracting the "Big Three"
 
In 1970, after Chevron researchers developed a fuel additive known as 
F-310®,  one of the Big Three automakers tested it against several other fuel 
samples.  The engines running with Chevron's additive were so much cleaner, 
that by early  1973, all three companies had switched to Chevron gasoline to 
help them pass  EPA's tough emissions system durability test. 
In fact, the additive performed so well that it exceeded the EPA’s 1995  
deposit control requirements – 22 years before they even came into effect! 
The Emergence of Techron
 
In 1980, the predecessor to Techron, PRC®, was introduced as the first  
deposit-control additive manufactured specifically for unleaded fuels, and was  
added to all of Chevron's unleaded gasolines. It was renamed Techroline in  
1985. 
By 1995, Chevron advanced the cleaning capability of Techroline  
significantly, but hadn't publicly announced its 15 years of innovation. Chevron  
paired the release of "Chevron Cars" – one of the most recognized advertising  
campaigns in history – with the introduction of Chevron with Techron in  1995.

I remember the early TV ads for F-310. It showed the serious researchers  
standing in front of the "Chevron Research Center" - finally identified in 
the  press as the Palm Springs County Court house, as I remember!
(oops!)
