That would be the oil filter (right angle) adapter. That bolts to the engine, and the filter attaches to the adapter. The oil pressure switch (sending unit) is screwed into the adapter, and faces toward the drivers side, at about oil filter level.

It was covered in duct tape, i tried to pull it back and broke the unit, thats why I am asking. Does it need the isulator? or can use something else?

The insulator keeps moisture and corrosion out. See if you can find a replacement plug.
