Knock Module Needed
I'm going OBD1 and my ECM come out of a Road Master.
I need a Knock Sensor Module # 16177700.
I called the dealer and it is discontinued.
The LT4 is still available but I read some where, maybe on here
that it's not the best choice.
But if the tide has changed and the LT4 is ok I'll by it.
Where are you guys getting them?

Re: Knock Module Needed
Since you will be using a '94-'94 OBD1 LT1 PCM p/n 1618805 and code you should have a LT1 knock sensor in the passenger side block drain hole and no or unused harness connection to the second knock sensor. Here is some info and a p/n ref shoebox site.. http://shbox.com/1/4th_gen_tech2.html#knock_sensor

Re: Knock Module Needed
He explains that the 94/95 OBD1 uses a knock sensor
with a certain resistant’s value and the 96/97 OBD2
knock sensor uses another resistant’s value.
So I should ignore the fact that my PCM come from a
Road Master and it used 2 knock sensors and just install
a single 94/95 knock sensor and that will work?

Re: Knock Module Needed
Your knock sensor and the PCM code have to match, your engine is a '96 LT1, if you are converting to a 1618805 ODB1 PCM. The actual code in the PCM determines how many and what knock sensor(s) should be used. If you have a '96 A4 tranny then you need '95 F-Body A4 PCM code to support the PWM solenoid and you will need one '94-'95 LT1 knock sensor to replace your '96 KS. If you have a M6 then '94 or '95 F-Body M6 code will work and you will still need the '94-'95 knock sensor. The RoadMaster PCM code should not be used on the F-body.

Re: Knock Module Needed
Why not do the resistor mod instead?

Re: Knock Module Needed
I may do that.
If this is done to the OBD1 PCM so you can run the OBD2 KS and switch back to OBD2
with out changing KS back that's cool.
I'm nuts and bolts kind of guy.
I would just tap the block and put the OBD1 KS next to the OBD2 and swap the plug
to swap PCM's
