Sounds like the builder didn't know how to rebuild the B engine. The pump in an A or B has the capability of as much as 100 PSI but without any restriction in the system, it won't push but about 2/3 # in an A and 5/7# in a B with the stock system. There is a marked difference in the A bearing design and the B bearing and one won't work in the other application without leaking. I can be available for consult if you want to know more. Just go to my website for the phone #.
