    In response to lone star

When you first posted you said you transferred all the parts over as a drop in. You then alluded to having reversed the hose fittings, so I'm guessing you at least made new hoses and got them wrong but corrected that problem, did I get that right? If so, what else did you change that you didn't mention? Maybe the short hoses from the valve to the cylinder got reversed? In my experience that would make the car undriveable, but it might not be so obvious to you, especially if the pump isn't working right. Let's check those hoses, here's how they should connect:

On the outboard end of the valve are the two same-size ports that connect to the cylinder. One is oriented above the other, make sense? On the cylinder, the ports are oriented so that one is closer to the front of the car, the other one is closer to the back of the car.

So on the valve, on the same-size connections on the outboard end, the TOP connection should go to the BACK connection on the cyl, and the BOTTOM connection goes to the FRONT connection on the cyl.

Check those out and post what you see.
