Hi,
You should be able to run a hose from the hole where the sparkplug is to the hole where the other pipe comes out that goes into your black box. I assume the black box is jsut the control valve that lets hot water run into your heater core, and the return would go into where your blocked "with a sparkplug" hole is. Basically, make a loop, with a pipe, from the two holes in your engine, thereby totally bypassing the heater (and black box) section.
Years ago, I did the same with my 18RG engine. THe heater core blew and all hot water spewed out of the console, onto my feet and through the radio. I pulled over and did a bit of roadside maintenance and bypassed the heater by connecting one of the pipes back into the other hole. Luckily I had been shopping and I was able to top up the radiator with coke and orange juice 
It got me home and ran fine for a week, with nary a problem, before I could get it fixed. Mind you, the OJ and coke gave the system a good clean out.
