LT4 knock module and water pump question
LT4 knock module and water pump question ok i have a 95 camaro, lt4 heads and intake, 383 stroker etc, odb1
was wondering if the 96 corvette knock module will work on my car, because those are obd2.
also i have deleted my heater and a/c and im now trying to clean up the engine bay, i currently have a hose running from the inlet to the outlet of the water pump where the heater core hoses went, can i just cap these off instead? i have heard some yes and some no, or is there just a water pump i can buy with out these built in?
do they make a smaller radiator for the lt1? if yes where can i get one
will need to replace oil pan soon, is it worth it to upgrade? if so which model?
thanks for the help!

i can answer the water pump blockoffs for ya. i capped mine off with absolutely no ill effects. temps stayed right where they were before. i initally capped them off with rubber caps and clamps just to see how it would react, then i removed the tubes and popped in freeze plugs in the holes.
The LT4 KM will work for both OBDI and OBDII.
You can cap off the hoses just fine. You can also block off the oil cooler bypass hose if you like.
There is no smaller bolt-in radiator. Anything smaller and you're looking at some custom mounting options. But the question is why do you want a smaller radiator?
Additional oil capacity is always a plus. I like the Canton 242T. Others have used similar models from Moroso, Stefs, etc.

you should be able to remove the metal tubes to put the appropriate sized metal freeze plug in
for a smaller radiator you'll need to go custom as joe said. tell them what size you want and a good builder can build it for you. but fyi, the factory lt1 radiator does more than an adequate enough job of cooling even a big lt1

im not worried about the cooling, its the clearance for my air intake
but thanks for clearing that up, got the knock sensor installed, gonna do the water pump mod tomorrow, think i should take it off? or is it easy enough to leave it on

Verdad Gallardo I find it counter intuitive to replace an adequate radiator with a smaller one just to clearance an air intake that will add negligible HP.
Those fittings won't come out as easy as you might think. Be prepared to fight with them.

In that aspect I agree, but the engine bay being somewhat organized and neat would make it more valuable for my needs, either way though I won't be purchasing one, the money doesn't warrant the expense
On a side note, any tips to remove those fittings?

I have welded them closed in the past. And what would it hurt to pull the fittings out then bring the pump to a parts store and find one that fits? You're going there anyway. 
personally i dont like freeze plugs in there...........i pulled mine out and just tapped the pump NPT and put a couple of pipe thread plugs in the pump.........little teflon tape and you're good to go....
