I'd pull the valve cover and check to see if the rocker arms have backed off!

Is the valve cover still off ?

really sounds like its not firing on all 6. but it does have that ticking. also check the tightness of the manifold bolts. they can loosen up and cause issues. how do the spark plugs look now? are they wet?
and this happened when you where driving it. did it happen slowly or was it getting worse as you drove?

It's hard to tell anything from a video! But, with that said it sounds like a collapsed lifter(s) to me.
1-Your oil pressure gauge looks very confusing, so I would at least get it confirmed.
2-Take a "sounding" with a long piece of pipe or rod on the.............
A-valve cover
B-Just below the head on the pass side where the lifters are
C-The bottom of the block on the driver side where the mains/rod are
is your map sensor hooked up. i cant see the hose. and it sounds like it has a vacuum leak. it has that sucking sound when you rev it up. map sensor is above the valve cover with the green connector. the hose should run down the the throttle body to a rubber plug with 2 ports. one is plugged and the other is where the hose should go.
What's confusing about it? It holds at like a steady 60 when running but I probably need to change the oil again since the stuff I was told to put in to help flush everything out is rather thick.
If it's just lifters are they hard to replace? Or would I be better off replacing them instead of just getting a junkyard head.
The gauges seem to stay at the last reading when keyed off. My 1990 does it and so does the 88 that I just got.You just bought a 28yr old Jeep w/ 266k miles on it! Besides the fact the gauge was reading 50-60 when the engine wasn't running and it was 50-60 when started, how many motors of that age do that?
Getting at the lifters require removing the head and are not part of it!

I'll do a sounding tonight. Or at lunch and post results.
