That is a oil pressure gauge sender from an earlier year model. Your oil pressure gauge sender is on the top rear of the engine near the distributor. My guess is your engine came from an earlier year model and whoever installed it left the old sender to plug the hole.

That style sending unit is infamous for premature failure. If you don't actually need it, remove it, install a pipe plug.
