Thanks for the information about the steering box. I finally have reasonably free steering. I tried grinding the gears together but to no avail. In desperation I acquired another steering box and column, used just the column with worm and gear wheel in my existing ally box, and set this up fairly slack and this appears to have dramatically improved the problem. I think the original problem was twofold: A) I had changed the column and worm but not the gear wheel so it was no longer a matched (or more likely not worn in) pair and B) had not set enough slack in the straight ahead position. PS does anyone know how the worm gear comes off the steering column?
