I was looking all over the web to find the correct wire to re-do my knock sensor, and finding the correct type proved to be pretty damn hard.
Some people use coaxial cable, and it can work OK, but it can melt easily.

Anyways, I bought some of this wire and it is the correct 1-Conductor shielded wire with braided tin for EMI protection. And it good to 302 DEGREES! It is worth the shipping!
Just want to help out those of you who have trouble finding it.

Get it here:
