fitting/knock sensor????

Hi All:
On the back of the block on a 92 5.0L there is a connector attached to a fitting screwed into the block..........is this some kind of knock sensor. I am putting a '93 5.8 into my truck but it does not have this. Is it really needed?

?????????????????

You don't need it, just leave the connector dangling. Do not put the sensor in the connector and leave it hanging.

Conaski is right if you are planning on using a 351 computer.
