I got a set of SLP headers (Not tri-y) for speed density TPI. The fittings for the air valves point straight up. Are these the wrong headers? Seems I need the drivers side to point backwards and the pass side to point forward. I need to have these hooked up to pass visual inspection.

I'm pretty sure they came that way. You have 2 options:
1) add a 90 degree fitting and then you can point it wherever you want, or
2) if you know someone that can tig weld, make the appropriate 45 degree cut and re-weld pointing in the direction you want.
Option 2 is what I did.

Yup, that's a early set of 1 5/8s SLPs. They came with a 90* rubber hose, piece of PVC pipe and 2 plastic clamps to adapt the factory A.I.R. pipe to it.

No reason to add plumbing. Just adapt the rubber hose/ get a 90 degree hose, and clicking clamps were what was provided by SLP.

The passenger side air valve points backwards on '85s and forward on '86 and up. No doubt they wanted to minimize part numbers.

Exactly... To make them sorta universal they dump straight up. Personally I thought all the adapters to make them hook up right looked stupid. I took mine to a welding shop and had the AIR tubes cut and welded closed. I hesitated to cut em, but in the end it made a huge difference in the cleanliness of the engine bay. It sucks if you have to have them to pass a visual inspection, but otherwise I'd chop em.

Thanks all. Guess i'll try to rig something up with some 90° hoses. No funds right now to get them welded to point the right way at a shop.
