[Healeys] EZ electric power steering

[Charlie Baldwin]

I think that the system would be good for a Volvo 1800 E or ES because 
if mine is any indication, they steer very hard.  I had a 122S that 
steered easily, and a 142E that steered hard like the 1800E.  An 1800S 
may be easy like the 122S.  I've done everything to make sure that the 
ball joints and everything else work easily, but there must be something 
in the geometry to make it steer hard when the weight of the front end 
is on it.

Compared to that car, my tricarb steers very easily, even with the big 
heavy engine in the Healey.
