My rails work just fine. In fact, they slide more freely than those in
my "modern" car ('84 Volvo 245). You must have an alignment problem or
some other clearance problem. Could the seat rail captive nuts in the
new floors possibly be out of tolerance (aftermarket panels, perhaps)?

I don't think this will make a bit of difference. The original system
works well. I advocate the fixing of original pieces over impromptu
re-engineering efforts.
