Brand new to this forum and hoping for help
I own a 1992 C4 with an LT1 engine. It has been driving me crazy (if it drives at all). I have been through it with a fine tooth comb and the problem I am having is electrical.
So I came here hoping to find someone who knows how to help me. I saw an old post by grumpvette and it seems like he knows a lot, but not even sure how to properly ask my questions.
So, who is the most knowledgeable person that posts here especially on my model? I would like to ask my question in the right place but don't know where (or who to ask) Please help. I'm desperate.
THANKS TO ALL!

there's nothing on a c4 corvette ,you can't fix if you have basic skills ,
and a few required tools and reasonably deep financial pockets, (parts can get expensive and a few hard to locate)
Any ideas how fuel gets into oil?
I think somewhere in the past there was a known failure with the very popular, mass produced 3800 v6 motors found in millions of Chevys, Pontiacs, Buicks and Oldsmobles from the late 1980’s to the early 2000’s. My wife took the kid’s car that doesn’t get driven much at all to the pharmacy on...
