Try tirerack.com. they have a technical section which will show which bolt circle and offset will work on your car. I'm pretty sure it's a different circle than the Mustang because I found a set on craigslist and looked it up and they would'nt fit.

my 1994 thunderbird chech engine light just came on. smells like raw fuel coming out of exhaust and under hood. engine missing at all speeds. white smoke coming out of exhaust. never smoked or smelled before check engine light came on. please help.
my 1990 thunderbird V-6 S.C has a A.B.S. problem both lights are on a.b.s. and brake. i can't bleed the back brakes or use them cause the motor for the accumulator to charge wont come on. unless i direcly bypass it any info would help I checked all fuses and replaced relay and still nothing
not sure what a brake box is. my car has a accumulator that gets pressurized with a motor. in order to bleed it needs pressure. so i only have front brakes and the pedal is hard.at first i couldn't get fluid to the back so i bypassed the motor direct and was able to get fluid.
I had a brake problem. had brakes, then no brakes, replaced the accumulator twice, only to find the fix was a really cheap fix...the ignition switch was bad....replaced that and now I stop on a dime. I dont know if this will help, but I would have never thought of it!!
I know a guy at O'reillys in Austin Texas that is very knowledgable about this car, (my son, and I have the same car) try giving him a call, he has all kinds of automotive hook-ups...Clay-512-219-0715, day time hours. Tell him his Mother referred you!!!
Hi I have a 91 supercoupe with a bad leak on topof the motor right under the superchager tubes, I can't find where it is leaking. I clean the whole area and let the car idle for a while and cant see nothing, as soon as i drive it for as little as two blocks I come home and the whole side of the motor from the top down is soaked with oil. I've tried everything i can think of but am stumped I really could use some help if anybody got any ideas please let me know. thank you
I HAVE A 94 TBIRD 3.8 V6 I JUST CHANGED THE FUEL PUMP AND ITS STILL NOT STARTING. NO GAS IS GOIN TO THE ENGINE. SOME ONE SUGGESTED THE RELAY CAN ANYONE PLEASE TELL ME WHERE ITS LOCATED AT.I CANT FIND IT .
Im having the same problem. we replaced the pump checked the fuses to make sure none are burnt then check the inertia switch in the trunk now weve been told that if it is a electronic fuel enjected that is has a fuel pump shut off swith that may have been triggered. so do you have one of those switches and if you do do you know where it is I cant find to check
Help! I am new to this forum and I just read your post. I have a 94 LX and plan on swapping out the tired and dying 4.6 with the DOHC 4.6 from a mark viii myself. What year engine did you use? What problems did you run into if any? I've been told it's a bolt in swap. Did you change the radiator? What about tranny? Where did you find the traction lock rear end? Any help you can share will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
If you go to the website LincolnvsCadillac.com there's some guys that really know Mark VIII's. I know there is one guy who did that DOHC swap into a T-Bird.
I had thought you needed a scoop to clear the taller engine but I guess this guy made it fit under the stock hood.

Hi all...........and HELP, lol. I am new here, and I am in need of a headlight lens cover for the RH (passenger side) of my 88 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe. It is not an actual headlight lamp, but a rectangular plastic cover that covers the plug in (xenon) type light. It just snaps in, and I have lost mine - or either someone needed it worse than I did, I guess. If anyone knows of where I can find one, or a pair, please let me know.
hello everyone, im looking for speed. i have a used 80's thunderbird, with the 302 v-8.it has a 4 barrel carb. and other than a replacement exhaust it is completely original. id like to keep costs below $1,500 IF ITS POSSIBLE. p.s. only fast on the track,not on the street.(id advise against street racing)
$1,500 is not going to buy you much I don't think. You can build power into a 302 but it's more expensive than that. If I were you I'd think about saving up more money and putting in a 302 crate motor that's been built ground up for serious HP. Just bolting stuff onto a stock motor brings very limited results for your $$$, IMO.
i also have a 460 ford from a van, same yr. lower mileage, i think 80,000. will this fit the engine mounts of a stock 1980 t-bird? btw, my sunroof leaks and is making the inside of the car smell,other than throwing a tarp over it,what do i do?
OK, first off ... a break OUT box will NOT bleed your brakes, nor will it help you with them in any way, all that does is give you a singular place to test circuits by centalizing the point at which to do that, it is placed in line in the circuit with open "holes" so you can probe for voltage with a DVOM of a test light ... that's it. What others may be speaking of is basically a scan tool. You can perform a "service bleed" on the brakes...... but not with your year car, it's incapable. Sounds like a bad/corroded/open circuit to me. Start probing with the test light, you can download all the wiring diags on line I"m sure.
I have an '02 Tbird with 10K miles on it. It is rarley driven at night so I don't know how long it has had this problem. I recently took it out in the evening and discovered that the speedometer/tach console does not light. All other lights on the dash light including all warning lights. I've checked the fuses under the dash...all are ok. Anyone have any ideas?
I bought a 55 T-Bird partially restored and am making more restoration improvements to it. The car has a 6 volt system and I'd like to change it to a 12 volt system. Questions are: do I need to rewire and if so is a complete wire harness made for this, can someone list the specific items that need to be changed out? Battery & bulbs, of course, change from generator to alternator?, starter? what else? Thanks for your help & advice.
Hello,when I worked in a body shop we used a plastic tool that looked almost like a carpenters pencil as far as shape it was narrow at the end not super sharp but we used that tool to go under and all around all rubber seals to slide the tape we used to lift the rubber upwards and it had sticky side we used that to cover all the rubber so the paint didnt get on the rubber if you take something and get under your rubber seal on your sunroof and loosen it up take some clear sealer and squeez it under the rubber seal,it's probably leaking under your rubber seal,if you put the clear sealer,like a clear cauklk you can get this should seal up your sun roof.Jim
It would be beneficial to me to know all the details of any 1956 thunderbird. ie: what's under the hood, the speed capacity,the frame length,how many miles per gallon, what size of tires and so forth. I would appreciate very much if some one could help me and supply me with the information.

I have this car and it's being wasted sitting in a field. Can someone tell me if it's worth bringing back to life or is it not a good project car? thank you in advance.
please help , does anyone know if this car have a built in amphlier? I am having a hard time putting in a new car sterio ( which has a bult in amp) but i cant seem to get it to work. do i need to disconnect any amp that may be factory installed in the car? any suggestions would help Thanks Desi
I have a 94 LX and had no problems installing a Pioneer cd player. I used an install kit and just followed the wiring diagram with the kit. I would contact either stereo maker or store where bought for the correct install kit. Good luck... let me know how it goes...
If the factory stereo says "Premium Sound", it probably has an amp. Just look in the trunk under the rear deck and you will see it. There will be a rack with a silver box on it. If it does, you have to get the wiring kit with the amp bypass cable included. I had to do this on my '96 LX. Dave M.
Try asking in the Tires, tires, tires discussion too. There's only about a half a dozen whitewall related posts in there, but someone may know of an option for you.
All of a sudden at one time I lost power to the heater-power to the rear window D-fog, and oilpressure gauge. Have checked all fuses and relays. Anybody ever here of this???
i recently saw a late model t-bird probly a 2006-7 or 8,this car had a jag engine i was told it was a 1 of 1 proto type..does anyone no anything about it??
My radio went out which also controls my antenna on my 1996 ford thunderbird I know its the fuse but when I checked all the fuses they were fine????
also my right front passenger side is pulls to the right when driving is it hopefully just the alignment because my wife lives at a condo with alot of bumps so you dont drive fast do you think thats the cause
Hard to diagnose a front end without looking at it. Could be alignment, look out for bad ball joints, too. My car was pulling, finally the ball joint popped out of the socket.
Dont know about the radio.

any ideas why my radio and antenna both stopped working,especially when I bought the car the dealer already put a new antenna in it and why cant i get even any kind of sound out of the radio?
Hello,it's possible the lock is shot and the tumblers arent hitting,did you try to put the key in and at the same time push down on the trunk lid as you turn the key?some times that may work,if not perhaps you can take the back seat out crawl in the trunk area and open it from the inside,then replace the trunk lock.Jim

Recommend it be towed in for actual diagnosis as continued driving is not good for it.

I bought clear corner lights for my T-Bird, was an aftermarket part, but fit and looked great.
