Re: code 43
From the info that you actually gave, I could only assume that you need a block with a knock sensor or maybe to look for something that emulates the signal that the sensor sends. I'm not exactly sure if they're made or where to find one, but then again, I'm not sure why you're running something with such an old block, or what the setup of the motor is, displacement, etc. Sometimes the key to getting answers with people here is details and very clearly stating them. I dunno.

Re: code 43
IIRC the knock sensor screws in where your block coolant drain plug is on your block on the passenger side above the starter . I hope that helps .
