Detonation Sensor

Used only on 5.2L with 4-barrel carburetor, this sensor is mounted in the intake manifold and sends a low voltage signal to the SCC whenever engine knock is detected. The SCC then retards timing a maximum of 11°, the actual amount being proportional to strength and frequency of detonation. When the condition no longer exits, timing is advanced to original value.
