What is the factory torque spec on a knock sensor (350)?  That's a quantity
I don't remember running across.

Hi Dave:  Just use a 350 vet sensor, install it with about 3 wraps of teflon
tape on the threads to stock torque, it'll be fine.  Use the teflon tape
because with roller rockers and added bore clearance it will probably be a
bit noisier than stock.  Just keep an eye on the knock with diacom and add
spark where there is no knock and take it out where there is (In the map).
The best tuning aid is to go to wot at about 600 rpm and tune for no
detonation all the way to redline.  Then you can work on the part throttle
stuff.
