One end appears to be screwed into some tabs on a sheet metal mount Air filter housing bracket. (one of which is stripped) You'll need a new one, or set, they're cheap, I have a bunch. and the other bolt is screwed into the inside (underside) of the air filter pan. Connected to a nut on inside of air filter housing. Or are you saying that the sheetmetal bracket that the standoff screw into is broken? Maybe, you'll have to check, remove A/C housing, you'll see. Both parts, normal failure. I do see the rubber seals and they are very plyable and have some oil on them.
And yes I don't plan on running this till it fixed
Thanks again

If the, not you tube, "U" tube
! does not fit correctly, perhaps it's upside down. Or not turned just right, it pivots at the openings. Those "standoffs" are there as a shock type affair, to keep your bracket from breaking routinely. The fuel gauge in mine stops reading before the reserve light comes on. I found about
that at 3:30 am Christmas...on the interstate. I just fill up now at 1/4 tank. When you turn on key, and the "idiot" lights, light, look for that low fuel orange triangle. The pic shows what I pulled off the '82, except for the
new buffer, I mean standoff. And a nearly new bracket. Hope this helps.
