the knock sensor goes into the side of the block pretty easy and there should be an allowance in your loom for the knock sensor to plug into
i think?

RoeDao,
Get yourself a knock sensor from a V6 from the wreckers , they are the same as the V8 one. The sensor screws in into the side of the block (Just about pan rail). There will be a drain plug in the spot at the moment.

As for the wiring - It is a single wire that you run back to the computer inside the car and connect it to pin B11 of the computer.
