New Master Cylinder Problems

I installed a replacement master brake cylinder on the GZ last night. It wasn't a direct replacement, OEM part, but it fit the bill, or so I thought. I connected everything up and filled the resevoir, but the brake pedal is unbelievably hard to squeeze. I know about bleeding the brakes, and I tried that, but nothing was coming out the caliper end, i even took the caliper off to see if would come spraying out the banjo fitting and it barely trickled when I would squeeze the crap out of the handle. Can the banjo bolts and fittings be installed wrong? Do they need to be a certain way so the holes on each actually line up? That is the only thing I can think of is that not enough fluid is getting past the fitting at the master cylinder. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
