If it still works give it to someone who needs it they are real hard to find. Yes that is the knock senser.

Nothing I dont believe it goes through?
how much you want for it?
I replaced my old sensor w/ an aftermarket by matching thread size and connector, but i'm not sure yet whether it will do the job and my restoration is stock.
and yes, don't worry about the hole...it does not go through.

FYI to test the knock senser bring the engine up to normal temp and connect the timing light up to #1 plug wire and shine it at the timing marks, have someone tap on the block next to the knock senser and the timing should retard with the tapping
. Do not tap on the senser they are brittle.

Sensor.
thanks kim...gotta get the dang this started first. I am almost at my wit's end.
engine (rebuilt) is getting spark and fuel (and I'm pretty sure air), turns over, backfires thru the carb, but just won't start.
valve clearances were set and rechecked during build, and I'm certain firing order is correct.
guess i'll start walking thru everything, again...

I never checked whether it went through anything. I had the front end jacked up so i just assumed it didn't pour oil because of that. I'll check to make sure tomorrow. If it doesn't go through anything i will just leave it as is.
Let me check to make sure the hole doesn't go anywhere and then you can PM me and i'll send it to you for free. Provided shipping isn't to expensive.

If it doesn't go through the block, I can send mine to someone as well. Just Durasparked and it's still in the block.

You removed the sensor and the adaptor. The hex portion, which screws into the block, is a separate piece from the sensor. You could unscrew the sensor and replace the adaptor into the block.

Never saw a two piece knock sensor. I also never saw the threads go all the way through.

I don't know if that is sarcasm or not, but i asked the question because i didn't know.
I did not know this. I might just do that.
