No power from alternator?
You went wrong in the way of changing out one alternator for a bigger amperage one . It could have done ireparable damage . Do you have a manual for it ,,.It could be a blade fuse burned out they are like a flat piece of metal held in wth 2 nuts and washers .Check all your fuses in the fuse box first .
Lumina troubleshooting
My APV locked in overdrive and would stall the engine at stops. This van was my daughters and they had junked it because of the cost of repair. I would test the tranny lock up by coasting up to a stop and if I sensed the tranny was locked I would floor the accelerator a couple of times with a quick back off each time. After a dozen or so of these procedures whatever was sticking thje lockup came free and the problem was mixed.
Not starting
Try to rotate engine by hand from bottom (crank pulley) if it wont move the clearances are to tight on the bearings or over tourqed
Gear shift
Most of the time the problem is the brake switch or the shift lock solenoid. You may be able to take the shifter out of park by turning the key lock to the unlock position but not to the on position. You may also have a problem with the transmission park gear, or the shift linkage.
