Default Knock sensor real close to header. Is this a problem? with pics.

I am doing a 80 trans am LS swap with a 2014 L96 vortec. I am using all the HOLLEY swap LS kit. The headers are 1 7/8 tubes.
the headers are real freaking close to the knock sensor. Will this be an issue with false knock ?? thanks

Cooking the connector might be an issue...

Those little plastic pieces will be toast especially because it is sitting right up against the header

LOL, I know I have to spin it to the opposite side. Its the vibration from header being so close to the bolt itself.

Even the knock sensor cracked from the connector header contact.

Yeah...like stevieturbo said, just rotate it away from the headers and make a shield of some kind,even heat wrap will make it live longer
