Default Power door locks

Anybody know if 80-82 power locks use just a standard GM plug that connects the wires in the doors to the actual lock switch? Can you can get off of any GM car that year? Mine are old and shot, so I'm heading to the junkyard if you can...

Is that what I'm looking for? An actuator? You know the "plug" that has one end attached to the actual lock button, and the other end of the "plug" attached to the harness in the door. Is that an actuator? I only need the end that attaches to the harness, and then use some butt connectors to connect them to the wires in the door.

Use some emory paper and clean the contacts before installing the new pigtail. I did mine this spring and the contacts had developed some nice corrosion.
