[Healeys] Steering Gear Adjustment

[Bob Spidell]

I presume you're trying to take some of the slack out of the wheel? I 
just tighten the pin down snug, back it off a little then drive the car. 
If the adjustment pin is too tight it won't return to center; loosen it 
until it does and then a tad more just to be 'safe.'
