If I understand your question, you are correct. Heater cut off valve is on the passenger side head and the temp probe is on the left or the driver's side.

Jim, Lawson is correct. The valve should be located on the passenger side, which points the hose forward. The hose then curves around the front of the carburetor, then back to the driver side firewall.
