Take it to Advance, (or Autozone, or ?) and have them test it.

from the shop manual for a 98 LS1 camaro:

1) check for an open or poor connection in circuit 225 between the generator terminal L and the instrument cluster terminal A14
2) Check for an open fuse 9 or circuit 39 to the instrument cluster. (if fuse 9 or circuit 39 is open, the instrument cluster will not operate correctly.)

I would also get the alternator tested at an auto parts store
