If the pump is pumping and it is turning over, then the cam is also
turning. If it weren't you would have heard a loud bang and crunching as
the cam and towers broke from a piston driving a valve where the cam used
to be.
If it is a 4 spd, pull start it. I bet it will run. Then try to get the
rings freed up before you drive it like you stole it. Older diesels (621,
615) have a habit of cracking rings, then the cracked rings chew up the
$150 piston and score the cylinder. Pull starting might work on an auto
too. I've never done it.
Snake oil in the tank, soaking gunk in the cylinders.Other can comment as
to what works in the tank and as a cylinder soak. Mopar penetrating oil
works well as a cylinder soak, but you want to get it out after 24 hours.
Good luck!

Does the cam turn?
Not sure yet. My dad and I hooked a battery up to it to see if it was going
to drive home or need a tow. It clearly needs a tow. Once it gets home and
I can throw some tools at it and have someone see if the cam is turning, I
can go from there. The IP was squirting fuel when the injector lines were
cracked open.
