Default 78 SMOG/A.I.R question

I am restoring my Pace Car and I am in the middle of putting the SMOG/A.I.R system back in. The problem I have ran into is the passenger side manifold tubes. I got a set from someone on the net. The passenger side is the 2 hole tube and not 4 like the drivers side. I have it mounted, but the check valve is almost pointing to my radiator overflow reservoir. The guy I bought them from said they only make one kind for that year and it is supposed to point forward.
From all the pictures I have seen, I don't feel this is right. I have enclosed pictures of the right and left hand side. Can someone tell me if this is correct (I don't think it is), or do I need to have him send me another one.

Thanks,
Bob

TTT. Have you sorted out the problem? I still have access to that car and can take additional pics if need be.

No more pictures required. The last one did it for me. I definately have the wrong one. Yours goes right up over the valve cover, but mine is facing 90 degrees from yours to the front of the car. I just have to find one now.

Appreciate all your help.

Bob
