Power fuel door

Ok, somehow or another my 82 ended up with a SA fuel door, the ones with a lock. Now, I want to put in a power fuel door, but I cannot see where the wiring would go. Does anyone have any pictures of the fuel doors, and wiring for them? I lost my Haynes manual

Looking in the FSM now.

My 82 has a lock also. But I still have the stock power opener thingy. I have a Mariah widebody though, don't know if that makes a difference.

+1 here. If you have an 82, it should have the power latch already in it. I think all the models had it.

With the way things are going keep the lock....

It could be like the 70's all over again. We had to go at 2AM to get a 30 gallon plastic trash can like half full from what I think was someones 72 Tbird without a lock. :0

So keep the lock? I wonder if I can use the toggle for something else then.

1. I've seen S models with locking fuel doors as late as 85

2. Fiberglass kits need the locking door. It's too thick for the stock popper to work. I'm in the process of changing mine for that reason.

3. Either door can be fitted on any first gen with the right parts.

4. The fuel door switch is a monemtary switch, not a toggle. Circuit is closed while the button is pressed, open when released.
