    Will this steering box work?

    OK, here is the deal. I have a nice steering box off a 1957 Anglia E100. It is easy to reverse for use in my cowl steering. I am concerned that it is to light duty. The Anglia original was around a 2000 lbs car. My Model A is open wheeled, V8, and a modified light weight body. It probably is...
