Knock sensor torque??

What should the torque be on the knock sensor of a '92 5.7 TPI?
What will it do if to tight or not tight enough?
Thanks

Too tight may damage it, not tight enough could let it leak coolant, not sure how the sensitivity would change though.

That said, I think spec is 15-18ft/lbs, basically tight as you can by hand, then maybe 1/2-3/4 turn more with a wrench.

I don't think you'll be able to get a torque wrench in there anyways.
