Just Bought a 92 z28

Hey Guys, I just bought a 1992 z28 camaro I love it to death. I am not sure what it does and doent have. I want to restore it to showroom condition, or as close as I can get it, I want to give it a low sleek clean look not dragged out like it is. I was wondering if you guys could give some advice on what I should do to the car since I just bought it, like fluids and all that, and I also wanted advice on where I should start Its an auto wich I wanna change and I also believe that it is a 305, even though the guy told me it was a 5.7 wich I found out after I bought it. Anyways just wanted to get some advice. Thanks alot and I hope to hear alot thanks.

You cant beat TomP's major tune-up. Do a search for it, youll find it, and welcome to the boards.

also another good thing to do if you havent already is browse through all of the tech articles, FAQ's, tech data....all on the main page, also read the stickies at the top of each board so you can become familiar with posting and stuff.

There is a tech article on doing tune-ups and stuff and what to do as 'free' mods.

like you said...i would change all of the fluids and do a tune-up.

welcome to the boards!
what is the 8th digit of your VIN? if it is an "8" you have a 350.
like tom said, make sure it is really well tuned up, fluids changed and you should be set.... until you start modding
