In my 77 there is a *** right next to my door handle. 1/4 turn locks or unlocks. Im not sure but I would think yours are similar.

If it's like my '80, their in the same area as your inside door handle and point towards the front of the car. Look there for a hole. :cheers:

I do not have power door locks so that is the standard, manual door lock setup.
