"U" Joints?

The 4.0L engine is not adjustable it has hydraulic valve lifters.

I would assume that the leak is the valve cover gasket. The head gasket has no oil around it only combustion gases and coolant. This is were I would look first, however it could be possible for there to be oil coming from the head its self and that could be a crack in the head near the valves.

I would change the fuel filter for starters. Then I would change the fuel pump as it seems that you do not have any fuel pressure. The pump diaphram may have failed and should be replaced.

sounds like the clutch has corroded somewhat.
does it feel like the clutch has some pressure?
try putting it in gear, depress the clutch, and then see if it will start in gear( be carefull it may jump forward)
this might free the clutch.
also the clutch fluid may have drained or have an air bubble, depressing the clutch many times quickly may self bleed the air out, or bleed some new fluid through it. make sure to top up the fluid.

It goes between the distributor and the base of the carburetor , while your at it give the pipe from the distributor a good **** and make sure the the plate that the points are on moves , ive had to replace a few of those distributors because the diaphragm has gone inside the advance unit .
