That is a link to some recommendations. Look at stage 1.

On an 86 SVO the knock sensor is located on the intake manifold ( if you have the squad intake manifold) on the lower part on the left side if you are standing on the driver's side. I recently disconnect my knock sensors and it seems a little more responsible. Enjoy.

but do you think i will have knock problems pushing as much boost as i am?

I dont think so i have a fully built motor im running 18 psi and its quite fine, if you feel something like popcorn when your boosting high then your detonating then you should connect it back as the knock sensor will stop the injectors from feeding your car too much gas... but i dont think you will have that problem

The knock sensor signals the computer to retard the ignition timing-doesn't affect fuel rate.

No Problem. My head stays confused about two-thirds of the time.
