I bought an oil filter canister for my Canadian 261. The seller said it was taken off of a Chevy inline six.

I'm just wondering why the inlet is on the left side of the canister. Shouldn't it be on the right side? This is if I'm looking at the canister on its place on the intake manifold and I'm stading next to the car.
