Would the knock sensor be the same from a 350 TBI motor to a 350 TPI, to say a 350 Vortec motor?

I wouldn;t think so. Go to AUtozone.com. look up both cars and see if the numbers match up.

I tried that before, and the TBI and TPI cars both used the same part number, but the vortec one is a different part number. Then again, they show different part numbers for a 350 TPI fuel pump and a v6 camaro fuel pump, but either one works the same as far as I know.

I'd be surprised if they were different.

As the saying goes..the numbers never lie. If the numbers are the same then you're good to go.

I THINK but not sure the LT4 knock sensor was a little less sensitive? A little better unit.
