Well, that depends on whether you consider the M119 a variant of the M117!

The simple answer is no, the iron block V8s never had a knock sensor. No use, as the ignition timing isn't computer controlled, and the D-jet injection wasn't "smart" enough anyway. Probably not the K-jet either, too slow to react.

No knock sensor on anything prior to about 1990, I don't think, and the iron M117 was "retired" in 1981. It was replaced with the M119 block (I think), which is VERY similar, but made of aluminum with silicon "liners". Also uses KE-Jetronic or LH-Jet, and I think only the LH Jet has a knock sensor.
