I Installed my RB20 Months ago but havent been able to really work on it and get it started because my job had taken me away for a couple of months. So now i'm back and my wifes due to give birth by the end of october so the crunch is on to get this thing running...

I'm going to start simple with this post....Where does this go? I've got the one end pluged into the harness but the two other ends i can't find any where to plug them into. Can someone possibly show me with a pic or two where they go???

on the block under the intake manifold, they connect to your knock sensors.

If you look just under the intake manifold you should see two i dentical green plugs about 18 inches apart. It will be easier to see them from under the car.

they can be obscured by the intake manifold but they are near the block/head division...the knock sensors that is.

they're brass coloured (old zinc coating) with green plugs on them..the plugs are oval and go into rather large holes on the block around cylinders 2 and 4
