Affordable knock sensor- carbed sbc
does anybody know enough about knock sensors to be able to tell me how to make some sort of gauge or flashing light to indicate engine knock on a carbed sbc? msd makes a cheap looking indicator, though the price is too much imo for what should be fairly simple to construct. this is going in my jet boat, so less is more.
ill be running 150 shot of nitrous on a 400+hp 350 with full msd ignition. some kind of way to incorporate it into the ignition retard circuit would be awesome

that "simple circiut could get fairly complicated. a knock sensor sends an ac signal to the pcm. it does this because there is a pizzo crystal inside that produces voltage at certain frequencies. you'll need a way to convert that signal to a dc voltage, in order to triger a transistor so you can activate a relay ect...
