I see on ebay someone is selling a power steering unit for a 140 - 160. I've never ever seen one. Does anyone know anything about it? Can you install it on an 1800? It must be rare as there are a lot of bids on it.

My 74' 144 and 142 have power steering, I am parting out the 144, and at that rate I petter keep the pump of when the one in the 142 goes! Seems like the oem rep. would be less than 400, I always go back to my domestics, bought one for my 74' Chevy yesterday for $50, why do whe have to pay so much for Volvo stuff?

All of what Matt says plus it is MUCH bigger than an 1800/122 steering box.
I hear from some of the folx in Asia that there is a Toyota PS box that is pretty
much of a bolt-in.
If your 1800 is a 72 or 73 it MIGHT have the lug on the side of the timing gear
place that you can mount the pump to. If you have AC you may have a space crunch
in there. The first 164s had a bracket that mounted both the AC compressor and the
PS pump.
$405 seems like a LOT!

geez... makes me think about yondering out and pulling the power steering system off my 164 and sticking it on ebay... Hell... most beat up 164s don't even go for that much.

I'm sure it could be hacked onto a 1800, but it certainly would not be a direct bolt up operation... definitely a different steering box, not sure if the pump would mount up to a B20 without a custom bracket. Possible clearance issues all around...
