SAAC Forum Discussion Area / Re: Old MCA embroidered patch

That's not a MCA (Mustang Club of America) patch. Its a Mustang Council one. Now they reproduced the stickers/decals over the years. Nice and unusual find. Good luck with finding it a new home.

SAAC Forum Discussion Area / Old MCA embroidered patch

Last post by geraldt52 - November 06, 2026, 07:34:38 PM

Having sold my car, I'm digging through 50+ years of spare parts I need to sell.  I came across this patch.  I know for a fact that it is from 1968.  I have no idea if it is dead common or something extremely rare that someone would want.  Anyone know if it is worth anything? Any help appreciated...

1966 Shelby GT350/GT350H / Re: New sending unit

Last post by deathsled - November 06, 2026, 05:00:54 PM

The OEM ones needed "tweaking" sometimes.
I remember working at the dealer in the late 60's, early 70's and there was a chart that showed the resistance from full to empty. If you wanted it to be spot on you measured the resistance of the sending unit full sweep from full to empty. Usually 10-73 ohms. You then picked the resistance for 1/2 a tank and we had a tool that you could set the resistance with (nicknamed the "dial a prayer") . You connect that to the wire connector at the sending unit and check the gauge. If it wasn't exactly on 1/2 you could pull the instrument cluster out and adjust it through the little holes on the back of the gauge using a small screw driver. Didn't do it a lot but occasionally we had to do it to satisfy a customer

That is an interesting methodology I was unaware of.  Thank you for the information.

     Today it seems, value is all about the "presentation", this being what the vehicle itself exudes, and then the "song & dance" presented by the marketers!  The buyers don't put forth the effort to become educated on the subject matter, nor really care anymore; it's all about the "experience" now!
