you are correct your valve covers are reversed. There were two types of 4v engines a 1.5 and a 1.7, both about the same except the 1.7 made it's torq faster. Because of the cars age you prob1ly have a 1.7. Now both engines dip stick is opposite the filer. Not being an engine guy I could not tell you how this is working or how much of a difference this makes. My guess is that when the previous owner had the engine rebuilt, he could not find nice stock valve covers for it so he got a new intake manifold to match his valve covers and did what ever you have to do to change where the oil fill is located. I would ask the guy.
