Knock sensor threads and location

[DirtyComanche]

What thread size/pitch is the knock sensor on the Renix?  M8x1.25?

 

And how critical do you think the factory placement is for it to function ideally?  Has anyone moved it to another boss in the block?  It would make sense that it needs to be somewhere in the middle of the block as to be equally likely to detect knocking on cylinders 1 and 6.

 

 

 

It's not really a MJ thing, trying to put it in a J truck and the motor mount picks up on the boss for the knock sensor.  Brown Dog makes a threaded adapter that would fix the issue, but it's $50 US to my door.
