Check to see that the bottom base isn't broken. These seat bases break where the top hinges bolt to the bottom. This will cause the seat to lean back.
If it is broken you can either switch the right and left seats, get a new one from Corvette America, or put a board between the top and bottom halves to support it.

I've seen hardware for 1980's in several places.
Corvette America has some. Here's the link:

Eckler's is pricey, but thy've got stuff. The Last Detail also has hardware for a 1980.

My seat backs on both sides were broken. Leaned way too far back. Took out the seats and welded. Got rid of the 2 x 4 the PO had been using.
