Want a locking fuel cap
For my 1990. I guess it's supposed to be a non-vented cap but the locking caps are pre-vented.
A pre-vented cap should be fine, right?

Good to know, though, thanks.

The definition of vented is very misleading. For these cars they are vented but have a check valve in the cap that lets air in only. The pressure goes out to the charcoal canister, no air can go out through the cap. I learned this the hard way. I bought a sealed cap. . And it pulled enough vacuum in my tank I had to use water pump pliers to get the gas cap off.

I ended up just buying a cheap Duralast locking cap from Autozone today. I don't generally care for Duralast's stuff, but it was cheap and came two in a pack. I dunno why they sell em two in a pack, but it's what I got.
They're pre-vented and came with two sets of keys.
