98 knock sensors? So I have searched and searched to no answer. I have a 98 what do I need to do for the knock sensor upgrade?
2X either (AC-Delco #213-298) (GP Sorensen KS116) = 10456222
1X LS1 knock sensor wiring harness = 12597415
is this correct what else should I need? or are these the right parts #'s, kragen just quoted my $70+ on the ac-delco part, and they could not tell me if it came as both or just one. Also what is the part number of the oil pressure sendign unit everyone breaks? TIA and i have searched and found nothing so any help would be great

I have a 98 as well and am curious about the upgrade too.
From what I understand, only some of the knock sensors on the 98's were "bad". By bad I mean a constand 4* of knock retard. I read on here that the cause of this was condensation on the bottom of the valley cover that would drip onto the knock sensors and short them out.

I'm wondering about this too!

The knock sensors are a security blanket. You don't want to delete them completely. The 98's were just a bit too sensitive and the newer ones didn't hurt you as badly.
