Knock sensor question--
I did a search and didnt find a definate answer regarding what Knock sensor would work for my application...so i will see what the GURU's have to say...
Anyways I am finishing off my 305 to 350 swap and the question of which Knock sensor to use crops up. The new 350 has a haudralic Flat Tappet Cam..so I understand I need a specific Knock sensor specific for a 350 with a Haudraulic Flat Tappet cam....so which P/N or even Model/year knock sensor should I use?
Thanks in advance!
Dave

Re: Knock sensor question--
Thanks man,
But I have heard that the roller cam's vs hyd flat tappet need diffent types of knock sensors because one is much more "agressive" than the other.
I believe the L98 is a roller cam....any ideas on what I should use with a Hyd Flat tappet?
Thanks guys,
Dave

Not true.I have heard that knock sensors and solid lifters don't play well together. But, there's nothing about flat tappet hydraulic lifters that would upset a knock sensor.
