Anyone have a picture of the knock sensor location for a '91 LT5?
I believe I have it ID'd on the lower forward drivers side tranny case?

If that is the one, how to remove the connector? Not immediately obvious and I do not want to break the now 23 year old plastic clip trying to bend it the wrong way.

Thanks

Hi Lee

No idea how to check my knock sensor board. Did swap chips with
a friend and no change. Going to pull the sensor and Ohm check it.

Plenum and IH's come off this week as we discussed. My son pointed
out that the valve covers will look like cr*p now by comparison so those
might have to go as well. I have never pulled them so will be searching the
forum to educate myself before it happens.

Got a laundry list of things to do while I wait for the plenum. I am going to
start a new thread for the project with lots of pics.

I will get back to you later this week.

And......and......Jerry has all the LT5 nuts and bolts as well as ALL gaskets which when Jerry sends out a gasket his packaging is the best anywhere (gaskets are the most difficult to send in the mail). I have never received a bent or broken gasket from Jerry :thumbsup:
You will receive the part in two/three days ALWAYS. Unbelievable response tied with Summit Racing in that regard but beats Summit Racing on packaging :D

Knock sensor ohmed at 3.86. Searched the repair manual far and wide
for a knock sensor torque value but nada. I wagged it. On to the next thing.

Thanks again:-D
