Kinda works.

45d male female fitting they use that in the MEFI.  Could guys report good
luck with that.  I have @ on a T fitting 1.25" off of the block, seems OK

That's the late ones.

??
Use the 45d fitting thing, highest chance for success.

> False knock is an issue due to forged pistons/ valvetrain noise.

Can be.  Along with alot of other things.
It's acoustic so easily fooled.
Might look to set the min MPH / rpm to higher then an idle speed to help
