My 1964 Valiant wagon has a 225 slant six that badly needs a new mount insulator. I bought one from O'Reilly's and it just can't be correct. I looked around a couple other websites and researched on this one, they all look like the one I bought. Here's what mine looks like. Just one offset stud on top and one centered bolt on bottom. Looks like there's an alignment pin on top too. The new mount has two smaller studs on top instead. do I need a different bracket or is there a correct insulator I can buy? Thanks

Lemmie knock around in the shop. I might have a good used one. Thing of it is, you probably need the passenger's side too if that one is in such bad shape.
 
The passenger visually is ok, but I'm sure you're right, it's probably time to replace. Thanks for the help, let me know
 
I have a new passenger's side mount and a good used driver's side. Send me a pm if you're interested.

Here's a picture of the mounts like you asked for. One on the left is the new passenger's side.

OK cool thanks, definitely looks correct. I see now that website does show both sides, just not ready to pay for the good ones now.
 
Rock auto has the correct parts listed for a 66 Dart. Part numbers are 2303 and 2304
The mount with 1 stud on the bottom and two studs on the opposite (top) side are for the right (pass) mount (2304). The mount with one stud up and one stud down is for the left (driver) side. (2303)

They are on the soft side, and you might need to shim mount up from the K member and/or engine bracket to get the clearance required for headers.
 

Thanks guys I just ordered the rockauto part. Hopefully this will get my oil pan off my cross member and lift the engine enough to stop the cooling fan from tapping the lower radiator core when I shift into reverse.... Ha
