Body/Appearance/Interior / Newer style fiesta or focus wheels on t bird?
Been looking around at alot of wheel choices and i am kind of fond of some of the focus style of wheels and they are the same 4 lug bolt pattern but has anyone put them on your bird? i kind of like the stock ford wheel look but with the slightly larger modern profile wheel. Any pictures of them on your bird or issues with spacing and whatnot? some pictures for example of a couple of the styles i found, there is quite a few more i believe. Thoughts and ideas?

Engine Tech / 85 5.0 High/low idle issues
So i have a 85 5.0 and have been dealing with this issue where the car starts and warms perfectly except the fact i have the depress the gas pedal to get it to come off high idle, Except when its pretty warm outside, the car starts without kicking itself up on high idle at all and has trouble on first start without really giving it some gas but once it warms it idles just fine. I was thinking it has to do with the carb choke thermostat but im not sure and dont want to replace a bunch of stuff randomly even though i most likely will anyway. Now this is not a big issue just something more or less i would like to iron out. ALSO when car is idling i can rev the engine and not every time but usually while the car is waiting to warm up it will stick around 13-1500 rpm then i have to press gas again to get it to kick back down. could this be related? i have checked for voltage at the choke thermostat as well and i do have power.

This is my 85 tbird. has 5.0 94k original miles. Has maintenance records in the glove box for correct maintenance done including oil changes pretty much every 3-4k. i want to say it is a anniversary model but im not sure on how to tell besides the obvious color scheme. covers on front seats just to keep them nice.
