Mike C, diskullman has a good point. The field wire to the alternator is green and white striped and it's not hard to imagine someone swapping it for the oil pressure sender wire which is blue. Also be sure that the large red wire at the alternator (from the battery) is not loose. Next put the car in neutral and try jumping the starter motor to see if it will turn. The energizing wire for the starter from the ignition switch is yellow. Just reach in there with a hot wire, like clipped on the battery +, and touch it to the terminal with that yellow wire. Be careful reaching under there with a hot wire. If you do that and the starter don't turn, then you've got a starter motor problem (assuming that the large red wire from the starter to the battery is intact). good luck.
