If you plan to keep this car, I suggest that you get some kind of scanner since they are difficult to find for a 94 or 95. If you have a pc that can be placed near the car, you can use my free scanner app: Scan9495: Free OBD1 scan app for 94/95 LT1 - CamaroZ28.Com Message Board
You would need to get a cable for it at about $55 ALDL USB Cable
Or make you own cable for under $20 by following the directions in post #13 of the first link above.
Some of the critical codes will not light the SES lamp and you would have no certain way to know there was a trouble code present.

GM should have a safety recall on all the cars they made and fix all the lying fuel gauges installed during the last 30 years. Safety problem of ( in GM speak) "unintended engine stops" when the tank runs empty and the gauge still shows 1/4 full. lol
