Don't quote me on this but I think it's to detect knock so that timing can be advanced (or retarded?). It's pretty much a variable resistor whose resistance changes based on the shock that happens when knock occurs. If it's detecting knock unnecessarily, you've got unnecessary timing changes. Timing changes means the spark plug fires earlier/later.

Yes, but time is of the essence! Thankfully I didn't have any problems but I double/triple checked stuff before proceeding to the next 'step'. Plus I just wanted to get it all done in one swoop vs. trying to see where the biggest improvement was made.
