Be gental with people I am a frist time vette owner and new in here. I bought a 1990 vette with 74,000 miles on it and it acks like its got 274,000 miles own it. It has the 5.7lt engine 6speed stick, convertable top. Car runs fair but has some eletrical problems and oil leak. I hope I work these problems out. Car is in really good shape for a 1990 and was garage kept.

Welcome! You can find all the help that you need here. Work on one problem at a time and post up a question about that problem by itself. What is your main concern? Which problem needs to be attacked first?
Pictures and specifics will help a lot
