That year vehicle has a carburetor and does not use a knock sensor.

The 400 Chevy is a small block engine. The 400 BIG BLOCK Chevy does not exist! 402 big block Chevy does. it seems in the early 70s Chevy put 402s in their pick ups and they had 400 badges. this opened the can of worms known as the non-existant big block 400.
bad sensor module, cost you around $400.
You don't!! It's not an easy job. I recommend a certified mechanic or a Mazda Dealership. Probably gonna run btwn $400-$600...but the cars performance will definitely increase.
You can if it has the Chevy bolt pattern.
400 ci Chevy, 400 ci Ford, 400 ci Chrysler, need to know which 400.
I have a 95 G20 that used to do the same thing. I replaced the knock sensor and the EGR Solenoid. Both of these sensor's can cause the idle on the car to be erratic and stall. If you buy the parts and do the work its an easy fix for around $200, the labor will surely make this around the $400 mark.
