LA small block timing is suddenly way off
YEs, knock electrode ceramic out of a plug and screw in a bolt like shown. Use it to hit piston on the way up when you turn motor by HAND (pull all other plugs out) look at damper and make a little mark, rotate the other way until you hit and then back it off slightly to remove chain slack (youll feel it) then make second mark. Bisect the marks and you have TDC. take stop out, turn to new TDC mark (ignore old one as it may have slipped) and then look at rotor and see if its pointing at #1 tower, if not center distributor so pot is facing passenger side and then make wires correct by reinstalling them onto towers using rotor pointing at closest tower as new #1.

you may have jumped a tooth or 2. I doubt you broke a pushrod, that wouldnt change timing but timing chain runs dizzy.
