ohhhh let me know if you do.
I think I figured it out. The mount I purchase may be for a different AMC V8 vehicle. The mounting slots in my mount are centered, where the slots in the V8 CJ mounts are offset.

Yes, You have the wrong one. That is off a J truck. You need one with the slots offset and it will go in like butter. Omix sells them new but they are proud of them. $140. I don’t have anymore currently or I’d gladly send you one. I’d bet Michael Joyce has some. He sells parts on all the Facebook groups. Near Lexington NC. Some pics of my passenger side below

Dern. I'll see what @Caver Dave scrounges up before I go hunting elsewhere. Do you have a contact for Michael Joyce? I don't have fb.

I feel like if I'm going to end up having to buy a repop I'd rather spend a little more and get the MORE mounts
 
Yes that is what I’m looking for.. I’m comparing that one in the picture, to the one I have, to the one in the image in post 352.
The ones I got from Lupo ended up being for a J truck per @AdamH in post 354, and look like the ones in your picture..? I don’t know. 🤷‍♂️
 
Every AMC CJ V8 I have owned or worked on had the mount with the offset versus the slots in the dead center. The fact that the reproductions are also offset tells me that's the correct one for a CJ drivetrain. However this IS AMC... so many things rolled off the line weird that I am sure some have seen others.
 
You wont be able to get the fitting back on if you cut the existing tube. Can you use a tubing bender to bend the tubes up some? Or change the tabs on the flange to rotate the sending unit towards the recess in the tank?

I was assuming I'd have to cut the fitting off anyway depending on the state of the ferrule. I'll see if I can bend the tube some
