if thats the stock pump you need to get the upgrade or a elec pump I also have a new black holley marine set up I never installed. I think I bought the upgrade kit from cp, but fred might have them to at trick. call me its 2pm, I called you at 12 my doc was late taking out the stitches. worst case we can strip mine off the water pump and try it. ART aka ARTIE or ARTIMUS

Imm doing the fuel system with art (airtime)today, I rebuilt the cars before i dropped it in the water for the sencond time to, they were dripping fuel so i just made them new again, there is not chiller on the intake, plugs look fine and i havent done a compression check yet, i dont see anythign out the exhaust, water dumps or on the plugs. I do see water/antifreeze in the bilge but the pressure testing didnt reveal anythign so looking more i do.

Check timing also. Is the timing fixed or referenced?
Could have backed off and that would cause the popping overheating all kinds of bad crap.
