bought eblp4 flash-need knock sensor?
I bought the eblp4 flash. Was working with it and noticed I never got any knock counts. I found out it does not have a knock sensor installed. Apparently I can install one. Bob R recommends 'a small white knock sensor' that plugs in the ecm. Does anyone know a part number or where I can get this?

No knock filter installed. Here are two on Rock Auto that can be used. Both a very close to the stock L98 ESC filter. Second one is currently on sale:
STANDARD MOTOR PRODUCTS LXE37 {#16177700, 21657} 5.7L LT1 F 94 MY
STANDARD MOTOR PRODUCTS LXE22 {#16251879} 5.7L L31 LD/HD 98MY

That's it, just plug it into the small out-rigger board. Note the direction, it hangs over the main EBL board (pictures on our web site).
Set this flag to enable the 3.9K sensor diagnostic:
Option Word 3 - Bit 1 - EscTt
That way if the knock sensor or wire to it goes open the ECM will toss code 43.
Be careful with the ECM while R&R'ing the upper case, don't over tighten the screws as some tend to strip easy. They are 1/4" hex head.
While in there can also run a wire or two to the ADC input terminal strip to outside of the ECM.

OK, I understand everything except....what is ADC input terminal and why do I need to run wires to it (and wires from where?)?

ADC = Analog to Digital Converter. Used to input analog info from say a wideband O2 sensor or maybe an accelerometer. Any zero to 5 vdc sensor signal gets converted to digital so the microprocessor can understand the info. HTH!

Thanks bigall55 and rbob. That helps a ton.
Im going to add a wb o2, so that info was important. I like the idea of being able to constantly read the fuel press a swell, so I'm gonna search for a write up on how to add that as well.
