Knock sensor location

Can someone please tell me where the location of the Knock Sensor is on a 1992 F150 302? I know I need to replace mine but where the heck is it??

Thanks in advance.

It is on the top of the block just behind the intake.

speaking of the knock sensor, I have a supercharger with a variable spark timing adjustment dial in cab. Is there a way to get the knock sensor to disply something on a gauge so I can tell where I am with knock on the timing advance/retard? I usually run with 87 octane around town, but use 93 or 91 on the highway and sometimes play with the timing to avoid knock. Is it possible with the existing knock sensor?
