Knock sensor location '00 W Block`
For some reason the knock sensor on this truck is just laying in the engine bay on the passenger side ontop of the intake manifold, no clue why, i cant seem to find where it bolts in at. Its on a '99 Trailblazer 4DR 4WD with a 2000s block out of a similar configuration Blazer.

I don't 100% know if this will apply to your year but my Morf was a 92 and this what I have.
Depending on the threads on the knock sensor some were installed in the head into the water jacket - some were in the back of the head and just screwed into the head mine has both .....

early 1 wire sensor is 1/4" NPT thread
2 wire sensor is supposed to be 5/16-18 thread

That's because the knock sensor mounting hole in the block changed. Early sensors (pre-2001) were 1-wire. Later sensors were 2-wire and completely different with a different size mounting hole. You should be able to find an adapter made specifically to mount the old style knock sensor on the 2001+ block. And no, you can't use the 2-wire sensor in your 1999. These sensors mount vertically next to the distributor.

Maybe these attachments will help - 1999 and 2000 have identical sensors in identical locations. 2001 uses different sensor, same location, with different size threaded hole in the block..

Located it, its right where the 99-00 Manual you linked says it is but its definitely too small for the one-wire type that was hanging on the harness, Which is odd because the receipt for the block when it was swapped several years ago says it came out of a 2000 4x4 4WDr Blazer. I dont know what the hell is going on here.
