You're not confused

You have it right, except for the years: 1995 & older, (CMFI) oil fill is on the left side. 1996 & newer, (CSFI) oil fill is on the right side.

My filler tube is on the passenger's side over #6 cylinder. With the hack job the PO did on my truck I thought maybe he put the rocker arm covers on backwards. But when I look at the "before" pics I don't see how the filler tube would even fit over #1 (see pic). So, I look at the Technical manual and it shows the filler tube in both locations. I'm confused.

Any one who is in 2021 I recently had this same issue. My solution... I made it a snub nose! Ha It just didnt fit so i simply removed the stem and just used the cap. Then again maybe thats why it hasnt started since?
