The mount should be a solid puck with cone shaped top. Here is a drawing from the Ford parts book. As I remember when I bought my new mounts, it's been a while, the reproduction parts don't have the metal reinforcements shown in the parts book.
I have found the reproduction rubber is not the same quality as the originals. I have a set on my '49 F-2 with the flat six. The fuel leaked gas onto the passenger side mount and turned the rubber in goo. I dug around in my parts inventory, or my "pile of junk" as my wife calls it, and found an old mount and used that.

I am very surprized Adavance Auto would even have one. Most of the national places don't have people who even know what a flathead is. The one I have near me never has parts for my old trucks, they seem to rarely have the correct parts for my '04 Dodge

Bob Drake used to carry original style mounts with the metal reinforcements. Last time I ordered I bought an extra set - cause like you have found, most are junk. My fan rattles on the shroud with the cheap ones.
