I need the rubber portion of the mounts for a 1966 Valiant with a 273.
Nice used would let me get things back together and new ones would be great!
Thanks.
 
Whatever you do, don't try to use the ones currently listed by most suppliers (commonly a 2266)- these are actually later mounts, and not thick enough for the early As; using them can cause fitment issues like exhaust or centerlink interference. The actual number is a 2338, but is out of stock at most places.
The common work-around is to use a 2469 or 2710 Dodge truck insulator, which are the correct thickness and have other advantages too. Particulars are here:

The good news is they're only 5-10 bucks a piece brand new.
