Engine Performance problem V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic 90,000 miles

I can't find the oil pressure switch on my 368. Found a sensor on the back of the block, but had only one wire. From my understanding it should have at least 2 and the one from the parts store has 3. Can someone please help? I would really appreciate the help.

My understanding is that it has 2 circiuts. One for dash light and one 4 the fuel pump. It's supposed to be a back up 4 the fuel pump relay. Is that wrong?

The fuel pump relay is located on relay panel under instrument panel to the left of the fuse box.
