Haven't been driving it...  my "mechanic" told me not to without a valve adjustment first ( don't know when it was done last)... but he's too busy to come and adjust do....   so I'm stuck.

Speaking of stuck,  yes the seat is still stuck.  My rubber mallet disappeared so I have to get a new one..

If this is your mechanic...you're in good hands

Your car will stink like ::fire:: if you use it.

take the time to do it right.
Unhook the return spring under the seat, hold up on the release handle and tap on back of seat frame from side to side with a rubber hammer till it comes off rails. Sand and lightly lube rails, slide seat back on.

Yea, too busy   -   survived another layoff at work,  1 out of every 8 person was let go - very stressful. All work came to a halt until "They" decided who should go. Now work started back up and was buried for quite a while...

I'm sure those seat tracks are not the same as a SB - what a pain they are with the little glider pieces - what kind of design was that  ?/banghea?/.  Maybe for a short fix, look under the seat, see what seat metal slides on the track and lightly lube the all the exposed rail surfaces you can get to,  lift up the release lever ( and assuming it stays up) sit in the back seat, put your feet on the bottom of the front seat rails and push left then right then  repeat. DO NOT PUSH THE SEAT UP TO FAR as you will next be sitting in it!. So once you moved the seat get to the front and sit in it, put your clean feet against the front floor and push backwards. Repeat once or twice.

Or if you even want to skimp on that, first time in the back seat just push the seat up far enough that is good for you.

DO NOT forget to put the seat engagement lever back down!

Best way is what Jack said tho..........

( I think on my 71 there was plastic covers over the seat rails... not sure when they fazed them in or out.........

Yea I forgot to take pictures till later in the process.  #banghead The ones I missed are jacking up the car with a "Jack stand" on the Jack and putting 2x4s under the wheels on top of the car ramps to get the motor under and in the hole.   **^bana0
