Default Power steering problem

I have replaced the power steering pump, steering box, control valve, and cylinder on my '77. It turns easily to the left, but steering to the right is like having no power assist at all. With hands off the wheel it stays straight. I don't know where to start looking. If anyone can get me started with the troubleshooting, I would appreciate it.

Did you try adjusting the control valve?

I wanted to hear what everyone had to say first before I started messing with it. It definitely does NOT turn left on it's own. It is just hard as hell to turn to the right.
