I think the knock sensors were an early '98 issue. I have a March '98 built car, and mine holds good timing all the way though a WOT run with the stock knock sensors.

Well several reason through this thread have been mentioned that hold true, and some were the reasons I shyed away from 98's when I was looking. Not really because they were less of a car, but because there was those few little things that if it came to it down the road, I didnt want to deal with.
IE: the 98 block, the heads/valve covers being specific to each other.
