I have a leak in the exhaust manifold and I read somewhere it can produce knock. Does this makes sense?
Welcome to OOF
Is it actually misfiring?Worst!
Err, don't take any notice of what the ECU says about the HT side. It has no way of knowing. At best, all it could do would be measure current on the LT side, but in these ECUs, it doesn't even do that.
Go back to basics.
Which leads did you swap?Swap a lead over, does the fault move?
It stays the same 5 2, I'm afraid this going to be a pain
3 and 6 might not reach 2/5 and like wise 2/5 might not reach 1/4.
If you don't know when they were last replaced, that's probably your best starting point..they do degrade over time.

Dis pack failure?
It's definitely a 'thing'... They fail over time and they really don't like water.
What's the Delphi part number? Might it be SS10809?
In that case it is an incorrect part. The resistance is incorrect @ 0.59kΩ. The original Bosch part has a resistance of 0.86kΩ.
The correct GM part # for your car should be 90540743 which is Bosch part 0-261-210-131. A factory original sensor will have both those numbers on it. Sometimes GM parts also have a parallel factory production part number, in this case 90494182. Cadillac and Saab use the factory production part number as the spare part number, but it's still the same Bosch 0-261-210-131. This sensor has an oval sided connector.
So have a look at the sensor you removed in the first place, if you still have it? I expect you'll see a Bosch logo and 0-261-210-131 on it.
Be aware that Bosch no longer manufacture these sensors in Germany. They are now made in Slovenia, if they're still made at all. Even the GM special order ones that were available until a few years ago are the Slovenia parts.
Simple test for crank sensor is with diagnostic interface, look at live data for engine rpm signal. Should be 300ish rpm when cranking over.
