Little black rubber thing on the pump did the trick. It's snug as a bug in a rug now. Next is to get it angled just right and bolt the front mounts in. Slightly up in front, correct??

Aren't they the same as the LS1? There was no clip on the sensor. They screw in under the plenum. Maybe you are talking about the wiring harness. I just bought a new harness when I did mine. It was cheap and saved me from being worried about it.

You do not want it perfectly straight. You need 2-3 degrees of angle so the u-joint will work. If it is perfectly straight you will have a vibration. Typically what you see is the CL of the crank is in line with the CL of the pump shaft front to back. Then the front of the engine is dropped to give a 2-3 degree difference between the crank and pump shaft. I think that is what you are saying but just wanted to be sure.

The sensor itself just had a rubber bushing. There was a plastic clip for the wire, like Matt said.

Two points here.......
1. The knock sensors are an integral part of the ignition system. They are there to provide retard to prevent damage. They do their job great. Mine are staying. I would think the MSD had them incorperated into the system also seeing how it completely rely's on the sensors to electronically set your timing. I suppose if the MSD doesn't use the knock sensors they could be blocked off. Would have to get with MSD on that I guess.
2. This boat is getting a big block FORD motor in it. LOL (for now)

Yeah, I was reading that after I made that last post, then got to working on other crap all day long. The MSD does offer a knock sensor option, but it doesn't use the GM factory knock sensors. It has it's own dedicated sensor that goes on the side of the block. You should be able to close them up, but you might consider just putting the sensors in and not connecting them up just to the don't leak. Then if you decide to go with EFI next year you just plug them in. They aren't going to make a difference being there or not, unless you are really looking to shave all the weight you can. They're probably good for a 1/4 pound.
Hey Cliff, the Enforcer will for sure get back in the water with a Ford, but that doesn't mean it won't get converted next winter to LS power. We'll see how the LS works out in the Glastron and go from there.
