Need Help! Lots of Questions, just got a 1989 Cobra 5L

All the sensors can be done yourself, doesn't take anything more than a flat head screw driver to change them. The TPS is a little hard at times because depending on things you may have to remove the throttle body to change it, but other than that, it's very easy to change.

In Canada they were called "Ford Mustang Cobra GT". My 1991 came like that, along with a 230 kph speedo, daytime running lights and the California emissions (including the four unit exhaust with two precats and two cats).
Mine even has a block heater...never used, of course.
Other than that, no difference vs. a normal US Mustang GT. Why was this done? My research is inconclusive - theories exist but I know of nothing official.

sweet ill try changin most senors. Thanks. Heres some pics i took of things Im not sure of. Except i opened a whole can of worms inspecting the car underneath. Found out who ever had it before must of ditched it. The cross member underneath the rad is bent pretty bad..And I think its been hit in the rear end, one of the quarter panels on the rear are a bit different than the other side, looks like theres been work done on it, sits alittle crooked, but can only see with a sharp eye. All i know i went under CARFAX, vin code says it has been in no accidents. So i dont think it was a horrible wreck. But i do think something hit the rear end. Which is probly why I have a vibrations at 100 km.
Also found i have a cracked clutch housing, pretty big crack, could be why im gettin a nasty vibration. Wont know until I fix it i guess. I just gotta pull the tranny. Which im gona do in the next couple weeks. Looking at the haynes manual doesnt look to hard. Also noticed the back seal on the engine must be leaking pretttty bad. Im thinking of gettin that stop engine leak stuff, heard it works pretty good. Or else I will see how much it will cost to fix that when the tranny is out, i just dont wanna get into seals cuz thats a big job..Um ya, heres some pics of some problems i found tonight! hopin to get some input ! enjoy

Ah I figured it out! heres th pics
This seal is leaking, need replaced rigght. I put my finger on the seal and finger goes red with trannny fluid, thats not normal right? and could this cause vibration? theres alittle bit of play on it but barely, just a little. Not sure if that is normal
Any idea what this is, i dont think its the drain plug
Ouch looks like the old owner crashed in a ditch or something, rad seems to be fine though. Can i get this piece repaced?
Check the crack out on the bell housing, had a better pic but it didnt load. Ciuld this be causing my vibrations? im sure it must have something to do with it, its a fairly bbig crack ouchhh. Have no idea how that happened
here is another view of the crack
what is thisss???!
And this is?? i think its a fuel pressure guage???? apparently the car has a adjustable fuel ration thing, i dunno what it is or where it is or how to do that.
This connector goes where?? I have no clueee, cant seem to find anything close around it that it may connect to...:S
here are som vacuum lines, see one is connected, and one aint. I cant seem to figure out where that one goes, I can figure it out. And notice the connecter, therre is a cut off line on it?
another pic of the vacuum line that i cant figure out where it goes
oil pressure regulator right, how do i get this off? my oil pressure guages dont work need to know how to fix it, i guess changing this would be the first step rightt
check this out, this sensor must not be working right. Its the spedo sensor right, its on the trannt, and also the wire to it is melted from laying on the exhaust.
melted wire on the speedo cable i think...?
any idea what this is??? cant figure it out its on the oil pan
sub frame connectors
car

1st pic… Could be due to a bad trans seal, or oil that has been blown back on the trans and drive shaft from the looks of the bellhousing and front of the trans.
2nd pic… Crushed radiator support
3rd pic….Could be the line from the Charcoal Canister to the gas tank ... it’s hard to tell
4th and 5th pic… Probably whatever crushed the radiator support also hit the bellhousing and cracked it
6th pic… Adjustable fuel pressure regulator
7th pic… Fuel pressure gauge
8th pic… Looks like the connector to your purge valve
9th and 10th pic… Black line goes to the Air Bypass valve, White line goes to the Air Diverter valve
11th pic… Oil pressure sender, it unscrews from that fitting sticking out of the engine
14th pic… Low oils sensor
15th pic … Sub frame connectors
