a few hundred knock counts is nothing to worry about. it is normalish. just starting the engine will cause some.

What motor do you have? My TBI is stock at 9.4-1
Engine is a 87 TBI 7.4.

Doing more investigating and this engine does not have a knock sensor or the ESC circuit. So I think the knock counts are a BS number since this system has no way to sense for a knock. Looking at the logs it appears that the number just increments from 1 to 255 then resets.

It looks like part of my problem may be a bad ignition module which is causing the Code 42. Ran through the diagnostic chart last night and ended with the result of bad module, so I have a new Delco unit ordered.
