Re: LockDoc's "Low Budget", "Low Maintenance" Project Thread
-
Some of you may recall that I used GM 454 exhaust manifolds on the 8.1 496 engine. There are a few slight modifications that need to be made to do that. One of them is to relocate the drivers side knock sensor. After doing some reading on this I found a solution that member "DirtyLarry" had posted and that was to use the sensor from another GM application. The sensor he used has a smaller mounting thread and it will screw into one of the unused threaded holes in the side of the block. The wire for the original sensor plugs into the replacement sensor with no modifications so that made it a really easy job.
The first picture below shows the difference in the two sensors and the part number of the replacement sensor is in the second picture. (213-298)
