1984 Pontiac Firebird timing chain setup

Engine Mechanical problem
1984 Pontiac Firebird V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic 184K miles

i disconnected the timing chain and rotated only the crank (lost count maybe 2 or 3 times). Now the two dots on the cam and crank meet at 6 & 12 o'clock, respectively. The number 6 piston seems to near the top but not sure (nor do I think it is TDC). The striker on the rotor is just past the number three (following the firing order). What do I move to get the striker on the number six? Will I cause any damage to the push rods (or anything else) if I connect the battery to turn the engine? What is the best way to turn the crank? Now I have all the spark plugs out.
