My '67 Monaco came originally with manual-slide bench seat. At some point in the late 1980's while visiting junk yards I pulled a power bench unit from what I think was a Fury VIP - '67 or '68. I swapped it into my Monaco and it's been all right I guess during the 10 or so years I actually drove the car up until about 1999, with the car going into storage for the next 20 years. The past 2 days I've been R'n'R the seat, replacing the bolts holding it to the floor. So first I'll post this photo:
The seat front and back is set to the lowest position, and set to the max backward position. I'm wondering if this part of the mechanism in the circle should be visible. Now, I have the chrome trim cover off, so this isin't seen anyways, but I'm wondering if the track and the seat are in the correct relationship, or if the track should be further back wrt the seat. Reason I'm asking is because I wonder if the mechanism is jamming and preventing the front to go lower. Here is how much space there is between the seat and the trans hump:
I can just about put my hand there. Should the seat front be able to go lower? There is about 5 inches between the steering wheel and the top of the seat.
Is there anyone with a factory power bench setup that can tell me if what I have is normal or not? Did they make different track mechanisms for different bench seats? Plymouth vs Dodge kinda thing?
