Does the 1982 Pontiac Firebird have a cigarette lighter? (Trick question)

Have been reading the Service Manual for the 1982 Firebird.

Lots of interesting things.

Always learning a lot.

Was actually surprised that, according to Pontiac, no cigarette lighter.

Page 8B-22, a Cigar Lighter.

Don't know if it still works. That isn't important right now. It was just fun to find out it had, officially, a Cigar Lighter.

The plan here would be to plug in the USB radio player there, might also be called the FM Transmitter. Previously used it in cigarette lighters in other vehicles, now to be used in the much better Pontiac Cigar Lighter.

Is there any other use for that? Don't say lighting cigars. Any other technology to consider instead of the little USB radio player?

I’m using the Nulaxy FM transmitter from Amazon in there, works pretty good for $28 or so. It does a pretty good job of streaming Spotify and Sirius XM. The only thing I did before install was clean up the contacts.

Er, ah,,,,,, how about sparking up a big ol Cheech & Chong sized joint?

Ok, well, you asked, and that's about the only other use I could think of....

PS, since recreational marijuana use by adults is now fully legal where I live, the above post in no way condones illegal activity if it hasn't yet become legal where you live.

Still federally illegal in all 50 states (not that I care, just pointing that out)...

Almost all thirdgens have been smoked in at least once. It was an unwritten rule.

So is removing your AIR pump, and a whole lot of other emissions control modifications, so I try not to get too hung up on what the feds have to say.

To the feds, prostitution has never been legal , and yet Nevada doesn't seem to have much of a problem making millions from it's legalized prostitution each year

The only time prostitution is illegal is when taxes aren't paid. The **** industry is nothing but prostitution but since it pays taxes, it's legal...
