No power steering assistance - could ATF be the problem?

'86 900i (NA)
Just installed a PS rack (used, known good).
My dealer gave med Penzoil ATF3 fluid (pink stuff) , said it was just as good as PS fluid.
Now, there's no power assistance at all! Pump works ok - engine revs go down when steering wheel is all the way to the right (not left).
Return hose sprays oil when pulled off pump with engine running.
I turned the wheel several times all the way left/right before and after the car was lowered to the ground to get air out of the system.
Ran engine for about 15 minutes - topped fluid up.
Still no power assistance............
Now, I wonder could it be the ATF having wrong viscosity ? IS PS fluid very different from ATF - Has the oil guy fooled me?
Any other propositions?
Please help - that car is heavy!!
Thank you.
