Intermittent code 43.?????

I put a new 350 in My 86 Iroc 3 weeks ago and
I am trying to work all the bugs out. This is a new code for me but once in a while I get this code 43. I run new taylor spiral pro's,
new MSD cap and low resistance button, a MSD digital 6 and stock distributor with new plugs. what would cause this?

What size ACDelco plugs should i use with the 350?

thanks

It's either a bad knock sensor, bad wire, or bad ESC module. Try bypassing the KS by using a 3.9k resistor in its place, if the problem goes away your sensor is bad. If it doesn't, one of the others is bad.
