Just undo whatever wiring you did, unplug whatever you put on the timing cover, and reinstall the splined shaft. Might be more I'm forgetting.

I'd send it back to the mfg for repair. Installing the oem could be as easy as bolting a new one on, as long as the drive gear wasn't removed.

Chances are since it's a 383 they used a double roller timing set.
