#334414 If you bought that dizzy at AutoZone you can return it. Call corporate and let them know if the store is giving you a hard time.

#334443 4 flashes is crank position sensor not knock sensor. In obd1 cArs the crank pos sensor is inside the dizzy, so at least you replaced the right part.

Did you try resetting the ecu to clear the code after replacing the dizzy? Does the car run better now with the new dizzy?

#334483 Disconnecting the battery for a couple mins or taking the 15 amp ecu fuse and 7.5 backup fuse out in the underhood fuse box, for a couple mins as well. Should clear the codes. :thumb:
By rustyrex
#334485 You only need to remove the back up fuse for 10-15 seconds to erase the codes.

#334509 Sometimes that won't erase the code. At least 1 min or 2. :)
