Yes, usually there is. I have come across a few of them that didn't have one but not many. It will be stamped into the side of the lock cylinder.

Just in case you are not familiar with removing the lock cylinder....

Insert the key in the ignition and "gently" turn it as far to the left as it will go. Insert a straightened paper clip in the hole (the large ones work best) (or a small allen wrench, or torch tip cleaner), and push the release pin down (go easy here, it doesn't take much pressure at all) and turn the cylinder to the left a little more. As you turn the cylinder you have to remove the paper clip or it will bind in the hole. The cylinder should pull out. You should not have to force anything. It might help to spray a little penetrating oil into the key hole. If the key pulls out when you try to pull the cylinder out just use one of the small "O" ring picks or a piece of wire with a hook bent on the end of it to pull it out.
