Probably for an oil sending sensor on older cars.

It's an oil sending unit socket. Common to many older domestic cars .
Double broached for 1" and 1 1/16" typical sending units.

The closest thing we had to "Sensors" back then.......were curb feelers.........

I have two of those sockets, apparently bought the second after forgetting I had one or could not find it. Oil pressure switche for light on my Ford Falcon.
