Knock senor on 1970 block
I just change my motor in my camaro two days ago and I did not know I need to add so many thing to get it going. I change from a 305 TBI to a 350 bored .30 over. I kept it TBI, but I ran into problem with the block because it is a 1970s block without a knock sensor. I want to know how do I install a knock sensor on the block.

It will not start, It ran well for about 10 mins and died. I bought the ECM today from a caprice 350 TBI and change the Injectors also. I was told to get the car to run right I would need to order a 350 specific knock sensor.

You do need a 350 knock sensor, the 305 sensor will not work because it's tuned for the wrong frequency. The knock sensor screws into one of the water drain holes in the block. There's one on each side, in the middle way down low. Might as well use the hole on the right side since your connector is already there.
