Knock Sensor Q

[green536@hotmail.com (Chris DeLong)]

yes correct. 8v's limit fuel supply at about 6800 rpm and 16v's limit fuel 
supply at 7200 rpm. however if you are using an '85 system you will need to 
cut a ground wire at terminal 11 (I think you better check though it loops 
back to the harness that goes to the plug) so as not to limit around 6k rpm 
or so. HTH.
