Lou,
       Put the cars' rear axle case on stands.  Start the engine and put it 
in gear...4th gear.  With the wheels spinning (not too fast), depress the 
clutch and JAZZ the throttle pedal.
       It that doesn't break it free, you will have to start the car in gear 
and drive it.  It will lunge ahead on the starter motor and then start...off 
you go!  Depress the clutch as you travel, and JAZZ the throttle.  It will 
break free.  Try to do it into 3rd or 4th gear, as the mechanical advantage 
you need increases with higher gears.
