AMT '65 Riviera Help

I am working on the engine but having a problem because the directions on this issue are less than clear. I am trying to mount the cylinder heads. If you do them one way, it creates practically horizontal mounts for the valve covers which cannot be correct for the represented engine (Nailhead, right?) But if you mount them the other way, it seems like they do not look right either. Further, it is unclear how the exhaust manifolds will mount based upon the illustration and they do not seem to have any positive mountings that would be useful to make it work out. Does anyone have a set of really good instructions (I am thinking that maybe earlier or later editions of the kit had instructions that were more clear) illustrating how this part of the engine get done OR a photo of the engine for this car, sufficiently close up that I can learn by example? Thanks in advance for any possible help.
