knock sensor?

I am putting my motor back in after rebuilding it and I am having trouble remembering where the knock sensor goes. I know it is on the passenger side, but I dont see a hole for it in the block--could the machine shop have plugged it? Also, I am not sure where all of the wires that are in the starter harness. I know the ones that go on the main post and one to the knock sensor, but where does the other one go?

The sensor goes in the block coolant drain. The shop may have put a plug back in there.

You should have the positive battery cable and the large terminal wire from the harness on the large starter solenoid post, and the small terminal wire from the harness on the small solenoid post.
