Cruzin,
Why did you change the pump in itially? Had the old one failed?
You may not be getting fuel from the tank. The pickup strainer may be clogged with debris. You can remove the fuel tank cap, remove the supply line from the pump, and blow backward through the line into the tank to clean the strainer. You may have a filter near the tank as well.

The fuel spewing out of every orifice, clues me into thinking you have excess pressure, and it's holding the seats open - just flooding the **** out her...
Most carbs like Holley, Edelbrock or Qjet like 5-6psi - 7 tops. If your pump is dumping 8+psi you might have issues!
You might need a regulator, to keep that pressure about at 5-6psi
