Well that's easy enough to say when the knock sensor works. But what if it doesn't work any more? Sure would be nice to have an inexpensive visual knock detector. Any suggestions? Jack E/NJ
Jack,

I think these 42 Fords didnt use a knock sensor. Those were on engines late 70s or so. Ford needed you to hear the kncok on acceleration with your ears. Most flatheads with todays fuel and low compression dont knock.
In my case i wouldnt hear it if it did..
