    I got my hands on a older knock gauge it came out of an 89 TTA it was popular on them and the Grand Nationals. Anyway I got the gauge for free and it works. Im not sure If its possible to put in a GTP and make it functional or not. Ive done some research and have not seen many people install this gauge and I know its set up for older cars that are not OBD2. I found the directions for it and not sure how I would go about hooking it up. I know about the + and - but im wondering if there might be a way to tie it into the PCM or hook it up to a knock sensor. If there is a way to get this gauge to work? It could be a new way to measure KR cheaper then an Aeroforce, I already have an Aeroforce so I would be able to see how it would compare to actual KR numbers. Just a thought because I have this gauge already and would like to use it if possible.

    These are the instructions here

    The model number is 102003 made by Caspers Electronics, Here is the gauge

    The instructions say that pin C is the input the gauge gets from the knock sensor. Try hooking up pin C to one or both of the knock sensor inputs to the pcm.
