Your timing needs to be bumped up. Even if it does not solve all of your problems, you should start by lining up your timing marks and give it a test drive. I'll bet it will run 100% better.

I don't think you want to pry straight in one direction with a bar. You need to rotate the pump as you apply pressure. A strap wrench as stated would be a much better method. You definitely don't need to remove the manifold. An extra person to pry while you twist would get the job done. If you...

There is no reason that you should not be able to move the injection pump forward. After loosening the three nuts have someone help you to twist the pump forward.

Hillbilly Wizard would be a good place to check.

The leak of antifreeze at the weep hole would most likely indicate the water pump is in need of replacement. It is something that should be fixed without delay.

It's good to have a project that you're excited and energetic for after all the time you have spent on vehicles. This sounds like one that you're really going to enjoy.

You should replace them with the functioning ones you ordered.
