CASA KNOCK SENSOR PLACEMENT

Several folks here on the left coast, have been complaining that their MSD knock detectors have been getting extraneous signals from our noisy engines. Most have placed the detector in a hole in the rear of an engine head.

C. Botts said his dyno folks moved his sensor to the front motor mount to a more quiet location. We all did a lot of theorizing about how to drill a hole in the motor mount, so while I had his GMC trapped at the Casa rally, I crawled under and I think this is where they put the sensor

This spot is on the passenger side of the engine just above the short shaft drive line. There is an empty hole there on my coach so this looks like a possibility.
Now Larry Schaffer said he was going to test this location, but he has not been heard from yet. I thought someone else might be interested in trying this location and if you do not have a knock detector, this url also points to Emery's knock detector you could build.

if you are going to use a knock controlled spark advance efi, you should also be interested in this placement.
good luck and check back when you have some data
