2.5l MC

[Ken Keith]

Do Eurovan's have knock sensing ignition?  I'll bet they do, if only 
on the 10:1 c/r motors?  Would the cylinder volume (knock sound) 
be the same for the 8.5:1 as the 10:1 motors?

Are the Bosch knock sensors universal, as far as mounting method 
and hookup, for the various potential models?

Thanks,

Ken
