Seat Tracks - which is drivers side / passenger side?

On my 72, the driver side track adjusting lever is angled forward with the small spring in the front.

Passenger side lever is angled rearward with the spring in the back.

Hope this helps....Good question!!

Yes, I think it helps. I think I can visualize what you're trying to say. So for the driver's side, you need to pull the lever back (towards the rear of the car) in order to adjust the seat. Is that correct? Then for the passenger side it's the opposite?

On the seat track I believe when you push the seat back you stretch the spring and when you come forward you shorten the spring.

Yes, that makes sense too. So when you release the lever, the seat should spring forward, correct? I'm assuming that's to facilitate moving the seat sot hat people can get into the back.

Both sets of A-Body tracks that I have, there is one with more "overhang" than the other. I'll take some "straight on" shots when I get home tonight so that maybe this could help out other people as well.
