I see what you are saying - The orientation on the head unit is the same as what it is on the ECS site, however their picture has a plug in the place of the oil line. I am out of town for work and not near the car, so I will have to check if there is a plug on the "bottom" of the case. There is no option to stand it up farther without hitting the hood, it is only about 3/4" away as it is, and if you indexed the unit over one position to point the line down one position, the snout will be pointing strait thru the inner fender.
After looking at more pictures of the 1500SL in other installations (C6 and C7 installs) it looks like there are three options as to where you can mount the oil drain line.
I assumed that "Pre-Clocked and ready into install" meant exactly that.
This in my opinion is the downfall of the ECS system - no instructions, left to figure everything out as you go.
