That's oil pressure sender. Only used when equipped with a gauge package. There is just one terminal - that a TAN wire connects to:
I wonder if that would be the 'brown' wire from my other post that has the connector cut off (this pic, bottom right labeled unknown)

Woah your engine has quite the collection of gizmos and it looks like your gasket on intake might have a small leak.

That's not my engine, just a clear picture of what I was needing to find an answer for.

I get a message saying I don't have permission to view the media in the album, could this be a privacy setting on your side?

That was it. Thank you!!!!
I have changed it to Public now so it should be working.

What i did when i added the eddy with electric choke was find a fuse that has power with key on only and tucked a wire with a male blade connector in it and ran a length of wire to the choke. Is it correct... HELL NO but its worked for many years now.

If you wanted it to be more secure they sell the add a circuit fuses where you plug it in, it has a wire off it, and it let's the original fuse in the holder to fuse both circuits. Radio would be a good thing,I would think.

Both, actually. I have a bag of over 200 glass fuse add a taps which take a blade-head connection then your wire or the add-a-circuit blade fuse ones which have the wire already on it. If you need the one for glass fuse I can send you like 15, I have WAYY too many and I only have one car with glass fuses.
