Clean it up with carb cleaner, tooth brush, Evaporust and Q-tips. Then relubricate all the internals with Power Lube and/or Lithium grease like GM did.

Krazy glue can repair this terminal block, but its a design weakness that is tough to fix permanently.

Outside rear mounts need spacers since they sit very low. Inside track front sits high and limits how low you can get the seat.

Hinge on the right is reputed to be a '65 Big Olds, but I'm not convinced. If you know what it is and can use it, please get in touch.
