Your out of luck.
If your making that HP, and not reading plugs your way over your head =
IMO.
the oems and MSD use acoustic devices, they are not absolutely fool =
proof.=20
They just listen for a noise that sounds about like knock.
Only good system that makes sense to me is the Saab Ion stuff, and that =
is a saab only so far.
Lacking anything else though look at the 89 Third Gen Camaros/Firebirds =
for one of there K/S and ESC contol module. Then use the output from =
that as a trigger for a light (thru addition drivers)

I want to throw together a knock sensor for my mustang. I have no =
experience with them at all. Anybody know how I should go about this? =
What sensor, where to mount it, how to hook it up etc. I was thinking =
about rigging it up to kill the power to the MSD box.
Next spring I'll be well past the point where knock not only blows the =
gasket or pistons, but could split the block. I'm moving to a T-Trim =
with new heads and custom cam. Add the EEC tuner to the mix and I'm a =
keystroke away from accidentally killing the fresh motor.
Even a suggestion as to which sensor I should use and possibly a data =
sheet for it would be helpful.
Thanks for any help.
