SE PS Issues

Hey Gang.
I managed to source out a PS pump a few weeks back and finally got around to installing it.
I also fixed the "skipping" steering wheel issue I was having, and grabbed a new Pittman arm while I was under there.
The pump was in great shape, and with the vehicle running, wheels up, turning the wheels does push the level of the fluid in the pump up and down. Now as much better as the steering wheel actually feels, there is still zero power assist.
Hoping to get a good place to start here.

Should I be looking into sourcing a Box?
Pump Rebuild kit?
Solenoids?

It is a brand new high pressure line, and there's really only one way it can go together.

Hopefully you guys can come to my rescue.

Here's the babe. Hoping to drive her again soon with PS this time!

Nice looking car!! The power steering pumps are easy and cheap to rebuild.
you can still get a rebuild kit just about anywhere.
