Engine Plug ID??

Looking for places to mount oil temp and pressure senders and I found this plug (see attached).

I need to know if its under pressure or not as it would be ideal for the pressure sender.

That's a coolant plug, not an oil plug. There are ports at the top rear of the block near the distributor, and on the driver side directly above the oil filter that you can use for the pressure gauge. For temperature you're probably going to have to stick the sender in the pan to get an accurate reading.
