Yup, I ordered that and the GM Knock Sensor Conversion for Doc to install. Along with the healthy dose of goodies that he's putting in the car.......should be really niiiiiiice.  i woudlnt recomend using the GM knock sensor. it dosnt work correctly for our cars and ats should stop selling it imho. keep the stock sensor. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

knock sensors work because they blow when detonation occurs rather than grenading your engine. The reason people switch to the GM sensor is because it is "stout" and doesn't blow as often as the Toyota one. Just what I want in a knock sensor
