This may be a stupid question, but is this my oil pressure sender?

It is indeed. And, no, it's not a stupid question. Doesn't appear to have anything connected to it....

I was in the process of trying to clean up the wiring some and and if I read my multiple wiring diagrams right the wire that was supposed to be connected to it was hooked up to the alternator. And nothing was hooked up to the sender. Is the wire just supposed to be hooked up with a ring terminal?

Yes one wire to the tip of your oil sending unit

The OEM oil pressure gauge was a piece of and not dependable.
I would suggest one of these in it's place.
Oil Pressure Gauge. Black Dial, Mechanical Oil Pressure Gauge.

Thanks for the heads up. Is there a better spot to plug in the manual sending unit?

The OEM location on the block is best.

That will probably be one of the easiest things I do then.

So slightly confused, found my title and it shows my jeep as a 77 but when I decode the vin it comes back as 78. It seems that 77 to 78 was a change over year, how do I tell which on I should go off of as far as service manual etc?
