Learn a lesson on bad gas

I wouldn’t have believed it to be true, but if you try to run bad gas the intake valves that are open when you stop the car can retain enough sticky varnish on them to cause them to not close immediately, then your push rod falls out of the debit that it is in and hangs up on something and bends.

It happened to me several time not only with my slant six, but later with a lawn mower I was trying to fix.

Clean the tank out as best you can, throw out the bad gas, add some seafoam and high test gas and you should be fine.
