Default Knock Sensor for 1999?

Hi guys!

My Vette is a 1999, and I just took the knocks sensors off (I am also changing my intake into an LS6). Does anyone know what brand is this knock sensor? I can't seem to figure that out..! What is the correct knock sensor? An AC Delco?

Thank you!
Lina

Thank you both for your prompt answers! Seems that my k/s are an older model and not an oem part, since there is a white connector and there is no part number on it that matches GM.. I guess that might be causing the excess knock / false knock, plus there was much corrosion..

I can only assume you had problem yourself and finally the harness was causing it... I am planning to change it too, was looking at the Tick Performance kit that has GM sensors and GM harness.

yep....new knock sensors installed...a few months later the old (bad) harness took out both sensors....no knock sensors = call for more fuel...more fuel = washing down rings and oil consumption = crap all over the back of your car ....replaced harness and new sensors all good now
