I kept putting my spool in backwards, which is why it would not come up to pressure.
Here is the thing. I never removed or tampered with the relief valve... Is it possibly clogged or frozen open?

I rebuilt one once and I think that was the cause it never pumped again
I did not mess with the vains either, as I did not take them off the main rotor. I am going to try to bleed it once more and take it apart to figure it out. Also is there any truth to not using the ATF in PS pump anymore?
