Take it to a garage, pull out your wallet and pay the man.
That is how the world works.
The cigarette lighter is on a circuit that is probably connected to the dome light and several other components in that particular vehicle.
You can buy a shop manual at any GM parts counter for that vehicle or you can buy a Motor Auto Repair Manual or you can buy a Chiltons.
Either way, unless you have a working knowledge of automotive electrical systems, chances are it is not going to help you.
Because of the age of the car, and because the car has most definitely been altered and because the car has probably had many owners in it's lifetime, it is safe to bet that something has been cut, wired wrong or is wore out.
The electrical system, which was made at that time by Packard Electric, Warren Ohio, was not very good when it was new and has not improved in the last 20 years of use, so problems like that were common place - even when it was new.
I know, I worked for a GM dealership back then and we saw those conditions all the time.
