re: "... the Healey steering box is more closely related to a gravel
truck than a sports car"
Yep; it's 'worm-and-peg,' not even high-tech recirculating ball. Rebuild
is doable by a decent shadetree mechanic; hard part is getting the whole
shaft in and out--a little easier on the 4-cyls--and rocker shaft bush
has to be correctly installed and reamed.
