I'd put money on timing - what are you using to check the timing??
Just some random bolts from the pot catching on the threads doesn't mean it's truly in time - they need to go in DEAD straight and true with no effort, I've seen it SO many times where people are putting in bolts, it looks straight from the top, but you can't see the jaunty angle because of stuff in the way.
Only other thing it sounds like it could be is a non-working vane pump - how long has the pump been sat? Was it working straight before it came off the donor vehicle?
