RE: Knock Sensor For Olds?

I believe this is only true on the later 307 equipped big cars (Cadillac's, etc) after '87 or so. No G-body 307 powered Olds ever received a knock sensor to my knowledge. I know my '87 307 didn't have one nor my '85. Andrew Geeting [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1987 Cutlass Supreme FE3X Clone 425/T-56/4.10 A

I was going to suggest that you bolt the knock sensor into the head or the block directly, so it will be able to pick up the shock well. There should be good points to use, for example the (unused) accessory threads on the backside of the head(s). You may have to enlarge the threaded hole, but

In 85 it probably would have been a computer controlled carb. A 2-wire connector could be the MCS (Mixture Control Solenoid). Are you sure there isn't one more, 3-wire connector, at the front left of the carb? I think that Cadillac Fleetwoods using the 307 in the very early 90s used a knock sens

Ken, I know my '93 Cutlass convert with the 3.4 has a knock sensor. I had it off when I did the engine rebuild. There are probably other Olds engines in that era with the same thing. Joe Varley AZ
