72 Avanti, power steering not working

[Jim S]

The power steering is not working.  When I got the car a week ago, the control valve was leaking and I replaced the seals with a kit that came with the car.  No leaks now, but no power assist. Any ideas?  Could the previous owner  have reversed the hoses to the power piston?  (Pump has fluid in it.) Would that cause my issue?

If the hoses are reversed, the power would go in the opposite way, right?

Getting the hoses right is mind blowing. My system next to the car:
