l5tuy,

If you look at the Newage Modification Article, it explains what these bits of equipment are and how they can be fitted.

Regards,
Shaun.

Also, the correct spelling is: K(c)ock link, in order to keep our resident troll, Pete, happy!

If you're not inclined to read the aforementioned article, a K(c)ock link is basically a device that monitors your engine for anything that sounds like detonation (very bad news) and warns of any such sounds via a LED display.

Your car will already have a knock sensor, but by all accounts it's not very good at detecting knock under certain conditions. If you've modifed your car it pays to have one as a safeguard. It will also give you advance warning of a bad batch of fuel or a failing MAF, for example.

Plus, lights are nice to look at!!!

It is a piezo-electric sensor that records the number of time Pete Lewis posts on Scoobynet
