Hello, my 82 TA has the locking gas door option. The lock itself is silver... while all my other locks have the black cap on them.

I had another 82 a few years back that also had the locking gas door BUT it had a black cap on the gas door lock as well as the doors.

There is no evidence that my lock has been changed and the key works (although I know it could have been re-keyed). Did Pontiac have 2 different locks or was mine changed somewhere along the way?

 

It should be black.

 

Black.

 

Mine was black.

 

just wondering, would a locking gas door fit on my 1992 firebird?

 

Yes

 

mine's black

 

Hello again, thanks for all the replies. For those interested, I figured it out... As everybody said it should be black. There is a black cap that clamps over top of the 'normal' chrome locks. On my gas door the black cap had either fallen off or been removed. I went to the dealership and the caps are 80 cents. My gas door lock now matches my door locks perfectly.

Thanks again for the help!

 

Holy ****! I need some of those. Is there a part # for that? Could you get me a few.

 

You could also sand the old paint off and repaint your door locks. Worked fine for me

 

silver locking caps existed for some 82 t/a's i have silver one on my 82 t/a......

black door handles and locks though just like all other third gens

good luck
