I'd probably start by looking for blown fuses, passenger side of dashboard behind quick release panel has the majority of them. Thoroughly inspecting the ECM and the wiring harness near the ECM to see if there is any burnt/melted wiring is probably a good idea too since it sounds like something got too hot (burnt plastic smell).

Well I do not know what trouble you are having with no start, some lights
work some do not. The best advice I have is get the FSM and the section 8A
electrical diagnosis service manual supplement ( ST-364-90 EDM).
If you have carpet remove it maybe the clutch pedal does not allow the
clutch pedal to close the switch ( part of the starter circuit).
Best advice is to get FSM for 1990 corvette plus the section 8A.

Plastic smell near ECM could be a fusible link behind battery.
