A knocklink sensor provides a dash mounted unit to show if you are running lean and causing 'knock or pinking. To much of this will burn out your head gasket

A Knocklink is as stated a visual diplay via a set of LEDs to show knock/pinking ... it gets its signal from an engine block mounted sensor.

The link greasemonkey was pointing you to was the search feature, if you click it again you'll see a place that says "log in" .... do that and then you will be able to search.
