It can be the sending unit or the oil pump really has low pressure, have the oil pressure checked in the engine, if that is ok then the sender or the wiring to it is defective. DO NOT DRIVE THIS CAR UNTIL THIS IS CHECKED, YUOU WILL DESTROY THE ENGINE IF THE PRESSURE IS LOW. A NEW ENGINE IS ABOUT $3500.00, DO YOU WANT TO CHANCE THAT?
the batt is suspect...take it to autozone, or other place, they'll check it out free......the shifting out of park is a seperate issue, the pawl for the steering/shifter is not working properly....did you notice if the steering wheel would turn when the shifter is stuck?....probably not....when this happens try to turn the wheel back and forth-not hard but not gently- a little graphite dust sprayed in there would help.......hope this helps you out
If you have replaced the distributer then the timing could be off. Did you set the distributer rotor in the same position when you took it out? If not then you will have to readjust it. But first try to loosen the hold down clamp and turn it very lightly at a time and try to crank. If it gets worse then go the other way very little at a time, and try. Be sure to tighten the clamp before each try.
