Hello,
I was taking a peak under my 451 today to see if the flex pipe on the exhaust had a hole in it (turns out it doesn't, it's just generally loud). Anyways, as I was looking, lo and behold a broken wire was staring me in the face coming from sort of sensor. It looks like the wire loom that it was connected to is just about 3" away as well. I'm not sure if this is on the transmission or engine, but I need help identifying what I'm looking at. I'd like to solder a new connection or get a replacement and get it fixed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Brilliant. I always forget that cars have part numbers on everything. I was too lazy to get under the car again since it's getting cold, but I did a lot of googling and can confirm that it is indeed the knock sensor. It should also have 2 wires going to it. Blue and Yellow.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction!

For anyone looking at this thread in the future, I ordered a new connector from Ebay. The original sensor still looks intact, so I'm going to start small and only replace the sensor if it's not working.
