305 V8, what can happen if you don't have a knock sensor hooked up?
The knock sensor changes the timing so internal engine damage won't happen. If you bypass it or disconnect it you risk a catastrophic engine failure.

A knock is not good. Does it change when you put the car in gear? Is it loud enough to hear at idle? If it changes in gear then it is a possible cracked flywheel. If not you can idle the car pull the plug wires 1 at a time to see which one changes the sound. This will tell you which cyl has the problem. If it changes pulling the wires then it is an internal engine problem, get ready to spend some money, sorry. Good Luck.
