what state is this car in? some smog laws made it not posible to manually adjust the tmeing via the distributor.

I would take a look at your knock sensor, if it died it will throw your timeing out of wack.

Also note a harmonic balancer will cause the problem your having, if it slipped when you floored the car youll never get the timeing set correctly unless you replace it, remove all the belt and see if you can get it to move, if it cracked in the center ( the rubber porition ) then thats your problem right there.
