knock sensor question
I have done the search already on where to put a knock sensor....I understand that it should be a sensor for the particular engine configuration, V8 or V6, etc. I also understand that it is sensitive to the vibration and should be mounted solidly to the block, so as to transfer as much of the vibration signal strength as possible.
I saw a question about a possible mounting at the fuel pump block off plate and kinda got off on a tangent in my head. Could the sensor be put in place of one of the water jacket drains on the side of the block? Would the immersion in fluid dampen the signal? Any ideas? Just trying to understand these things a little better for future reference.
In our neighborhood, 2 blocks down the hill was a gas station that (to me) all the cool car guys hung out there. 32 coupes, 33 & 34 Fords as well, a sweet 56 Ford Beach wagon that was setup gasser...
How did you get hooked on cars?
