Default Help with power steering issue

I just fired up my new Ramjet 350 crate engine for the first time. While i had my car apart i installed new hydraulics on the power steering. (control valve, cylinder and hoses)

When i went to turn the steering wheel it shook violently back and forth and there was no stopping it

I had to turn the engine off to stop the steering wheel.

Anyone have any ideas?
