What side is my knock sensor?

I'm sorry to ask this, but I can't get to my car to look for another two months and I can't wait that long because I need to order a harness now. Which side of the engine is my knock sensor? I seem to remember it being on the passenger side, but I'm not positive. It's a 1989 Formula 350 vin 8.

Thanks.
