Re: knock sensor.....?

Unless I am wrong that should be your oil pressure sending unit.
I am not positive and am sure someone will answer, but I think it's on the side of the block on the pass side.

Re: knock sensor.....?

not sure but this is what you are looking for.
i found a site that says look on the front of the starter for a 350 or 305. you might have to remove the starter to get to it. two bolts should do it.

The knock sensor is in the coolant block drain hole near the oil pan gasket rail on the passenger side of the engine block.

not (ON THE FRONT OF THE STARTER) but (IN FRONT OF THE STARTER)
Thats where I know them to be anyway.
Sorry if I'm mistaken.
