It is best not to mix British/American units like pounds with metric/SI units like milliliters. Pounds is also not supposed to be used for mass; the correct nass units are slugs when doing physics with British units.
1.65 lb mass is 749 grams
Divide that mass by 170 ml for a density of 4.4 g/ml. That is also the specific gravity, since the density of liquid water is 1.00 g/ml
