I put a '96 DOHC into my '96 GT so it is not protected for knock by the computer.

I was wondering if anyone knew where to get a gauge for this and if you can just connect it to the sensor itself?

There is no guage it feeds back to the PCM. Did you change your PCM when you changed engines?

I never knew about those either...

I still think having the correct PCM that takes corrective action (retards timing) based of feedback from the knock sensor would be better...

As I said I put it in a GT so the wiring for the knock sensor was not there.

I was thinking of something along this line. My buddy has this on his beretta and I have only found it on ebay saying its for a grand national.

I am assuming that this one would work with any motor but I was just checking to make sure.
