Buicks have their knock sensor on top of the block in the back. You can drill and tap a hole or weld on a bung. Placement is not critical.

Im interested in how you are going to get that plug out after it broke. Do you plan on taking out the headers and seeing if there is enough extension left to get vice grips on it, or is it broken flush with the block.

It snapped off flush. Looks like just a plug now and have left it. I have finished the project and started the car. No "check eng. light" If I ever pull the motor that's when I'll address removing it. I will say though they are nice headers but clearance is a issue for the passenger side for a couple things.
