I have a 2000 Merc engine, that has TB5 ignition, but no knock module. What does this ignition act like as far as timing advance? Does it still try to vary timing based on what it sees the engine doing or does it have a more defined advance curve. With no knock sensor I dont see how it can safely vary timing to fine 'mean best timing' without getting into detonation issues? The module number is 861459t02, is there somewhere that shows a timing curve for this module?
FYI: This was a 5.0, and from what I can tell from parts diagrams the 5.0 alpha did not have knock sensors. 5.0 Bravo and 5.7 Alpha/Bravo got the knock sensor. Not sure why?
