This sounds EXACTLY like the problems on my 1991. The car had been sitting for a year, and even with a new battery, I wasn't able to shift out of park, no dash lights (only ones were on the aircon controls), and no turnover of the starter.
My guess is that something is making the car think it's not in park, and thus won't let you crank the starter, but also won't engage the shifter solenoid to let you shift from park?
If I bypassed the ignition and went right from battery to the starter solenoid, the car fires right up, and using the shiftlock override, I can get the car into gear. Brakelights work fine, which I would assume means the brakelight switch is ok. But still no lights for the dash, and still trying to find the root cause.
My alternator is fine, and I'm betting it's the same for you. I'm digging through here today to see if any other suggestions - I'm guessing it's either related to fuses (7 and/or 12), something with the shifter solenoid, or the neutral safety switch.
If you have any further information, please let me know.
