Sounds like the ones on my 90s.  Both use slider tracks on each side of 
the rear, but manual has a track full of holes in the center for the 
adjuster handle-actuated pin to lock into.  On power seats the front of 
the seat base bolts down to the floor.  Has anybody ever checked to see 
if the welded-in nuts are present under manual seat carpets?

My manual seats on my "new" 90Q have no thigh support vs. the electrics 
in my "old" 90Q.

PS, over the long weekend with help from a friend I swapped over all the 
suspension bits (lowering springs, functional HD struts) and all the 
rotors and pads from the old car to the new one.  Quite an adventure.
