I am installing an OEM power lock system on my 1984 Trans Am. Can someone provide me with the GM part number for the power lock relay? Also, I need to know where the connector pictured below plugs in.
That's the power supply for the whole PDL system. It plugs into the Battery bus of the power distribution block at the top of the driver's side kick panel behind the hood release cable.
A relay is a relay is a relay is a relay is a relay for the most part. It's just an electrically operated switch. Just like you don't need to match the switch on the wall of your living room to the brand of bulb you're using, all you need to worry about with a relay is, if it has the right coil voltage (99.999% of all automotive relays, including that one, are 12V); that it has the right # of contacts; that the contacts are designed to carry the current that the load requires; and that it plugs into the wiring for it. There are 2 relays in that system of course; one for lock, one for unlock. Post a photo of the connectors.

Below are pictures of the two connectors to the relay.
