oil pressure sender

In another thread I replyed about my oil pressure gauge bouncing around at idle and going all the way to the right past 80 with any throttle at all. Someone replyed that my sensor is bad. So my question is, is this the oil pressure sender that I need to replace?

no, that is not it. It is larger, half the size of an oil filter, and on the drivers side above the oil filter.
edit. I see that you have a 91, which uses a newer style sensor
here is a pic

The sensor you have a picture of is the coolant temp sensor.
