knock sensor is where?

A search told me it is on the passenger side of the block, I have looked and see none. Maybe the motor I picked up had it removed. Where on the block should I look? Near starter? on front near smog pump?
Thanks

It's located on the passenger side of the block above the oil pan and in front of the starter.

So I looked all over near the starter, nothing at all. There is a single bolt, metric I think but it has no markings on it at all. None of those lines for grade and no 9.8 or somthing. I was gonna take the bolt off to see if knock would thread into it, but is is rusted on. I was afraid of breaking off the head so its soaking in liquid wrench right now. It right near the starter about solonoid level. Thanks for the pic GKK.

So I pulled the bolt out. Part of the treads broke off in the block . I drillied it and got that out with an easy out. After that I was cleaning the threads with a tap when coolant started pouring out of the hole. Did I drill to far getting the old thead out? Or did I find some kind of drain plug rather than the knock ensor location? The treads match the knock sensor perfect. Please help?
