easy solution.

Simply interwine both wires so it becomes 1 wire, then wire directly to the knock sensor pinout at your ecu plug. This will ensure that either pin will be making contact with the single pin inside the knock sensor.

Do you just have the plug and 2 small strands of insulated wire on it and you want to connect to the plug to the knock sensor and then install the wire from the plug to the ecu? If thats what you are saying you can just check continuity to the wires from the end of either wire to the knock sensor the one that will have continuity to the wire that is coneccted to the ks. you could acually check the wire to any part of the back of the block and it will have continuity. or you could just wind them both like katman said it wont hurt just more wire to solder/connect

check the continuity from the engine block/knocksensor to the end of each wire. the wire that has continuity is the one you will use because it is plugged in to the knock sensor wich is plugged into the block.

yes, I have, hence my suggestion to intertwine the 2 wires together.
