Its a conspiracy! Both cougars I've worked on haven't had knock sensors even though they are suppose to. Its bizzar. The svt I just fixed up with a 3L had one.

I can see in the second pic where it's supposed to go. In any case, I'd be a little hesitant to run without one, but on the other hand if it starts going off, you've probably all ready done some damage.

You seem to be under the impression that CougarGT and Blackcoog are simply choosing not to hook the knock sensors in their cougars up.
This assumption is incorrect.
They are saying their cars do not have knock sensors, nor are there any provisions for one in the wiring harness, thus making hooking up a knock sensor impossible.
For the record, my 2002 Escape engine does have a knock sensor.. I have no idea if my 2001 Cougar has one.

I had not seen one without a knock sensor. The 99 cougar I worked on and the Roush Cougar I worked on both had them. I guess ford decided to decontent them in the latter years of the cougar then. In either case, I would most likely bet that the threaded hole is there in the block. Whether or not the harness has a plug for it, that's another story.
