Can an LM1 detect knock?
By measuring a certain type of gas? If so, how slight? Or does it only detect serious detonation?

I don't think it can do this. This requires a probe in the engine.

I believe the LM1 has an input for a knock sensor but the sensor still has to be installed on the block first.

MSD has a stand alone knock sensor.
For 'bout $150 try his:

Opps link don't work, try: MSD Engine Knock Alert, PN 8964.
Sensor just replaces yer block water jacket plug.
Good luck,
