Knock sensor torquing

[Sachelle Babbar <sbabbar@iris.nyit.edu>]

Retrieved and error code of 2142 for the knock sensor being defective. I
figured this much because I was getting the check engine light (no audible
knock) at the upper reaches of the rev range under load. Anyhow, I have
one off of my 84 turbo and I wanted to know how to torque the damn thing.
You can't get a socket on it because of the wire (and plug), so what do
you do? I've heard how 14 ft./lbs. (or was is n-m?) was critical. How much
so? I could get near there by feeling out the torque with an open box
wrench. Any btdt's? TIA!
