I'm by no means a mechanic so if I'm wrong hopefully somebody will correct me. From what I understand the temp sensor goes into the head and the knock sensor into the block. Again I'm a body man not a mechanic so I can't promise that info is accurate.

that totally makes sense. Im just now concerned that my knock sensor isnt connected and i have no idea where my coolant temp sender is for my gauges.
I agree. My truck is a 92 5.7 5spd. Mine could be all wrong or the two could be different. I still haven't started mine since I got the motor back from the machine shop. I think everything is right with mine. I work with a guy that has been a bodyman/mechanic for 30ish years and he has helped me quite a bit.

my coolant plug was really tight to a big wire loom and twisted behind it. I have a 1999 c2500 gmc.
I don't think there is and difference in the harnesses as far as sensors go. I think the only differences are 2/4wd and auto or manual also fuel injection/smog. In my mind our engines should be pretty close to the same as far as temp/knock sensor location.

Ok so I don't feel as bad now. That sensor is definitely my coolant temp sensor LOCATION. Now I am unsure as to if that is the correct sensor in there, but that is the same location as yours. It looks lower than it is but it is just barely underneath the header. I have the same knock sensor and location as you so now my question is the original one. Does anyone that doesn't have a wonderfully redone wiring harness able to snap pictures possibly all the way to the firewall for me? If i can find where it comes in I can just put a generic coolant sensor in and wire it into the harness.
Jmiller thanks so much for all of your help!!
