Default 78-Seat Back Adjustments

Can anyone tell me what I need, and how to install or adjust the angle of the seat back on the drivers seat of a 78 vette. Thanks in advance!!

According to my manual adjusting the seat angle was a dealer performed option involving spacers "in sets of three". The latching mechanism needed to be adjusted as well to ensure the seat back latched. No mention of exactly how these spacers worked though.

Either washers under the front or the back.
One size fits all.
