V8 knock sensor and output

[BLSTIC]

with our beloved EFI 302 windsor... or well rather it was, its just bigger and boosted now...

the point is, i need to know where the knock sensor is, and what kind of output it has. the reason being is that I am about to plug my laptop into the haltech to get the car runnung ok-ish, and I would prefer to have advanced warning on when it starts to ping. as once i hear it, it will have done damage.

for those interested it currently has 230rwkw, on 10psi, with less than 10:1 air-fuel ratios (graph stops there). certainly room for improvement. the main cause for the tune is the fuel dribbling out the exhaust, and the fact that we got 220km out of a tank ONCE, rest of the time its about 190-200. power isnt really a concern for the car, i just want to cruise for less than $30 a lap.

so can anyone help me with the knock sensor thing?

im pretty well positive the V8's never had the knock sensor.... i know they didnt in ef and el where the I-6 had one

bugga. because my ear for detonation isnt the best... ill just have to do low load tuning then, and leave full noise for when i have the right gear.

oh yeah, and does anyone know whether a normal serial cable is ok to retune the haltech? I havent had the chance to test it yet, and the one that came with the car has vanished sometime in the last 6 months....
