It drops the airflow capacity. So backwards it would be working with less to start with and , of course, not expand after passing the orifice. Installed the other way, there is more flow to the orifice, then less...So in effect it will work either way, now if there is a one way flapper in there, then it won't hold the vacuum installed backwards. I don't know if it is intended to hold vacuum or not, or to just provide an orifice.

Well I did it. I bought a set of Beru ignition wires from Fastlane. They were just about $65.00 more than Bosch and I figure that I won't have to change them again for years.
They sould be here before the GTG at Enrique's on the 3rd.
Do you know which way air flows into or from a port in the front of the intake manifold?

If air goes in then the the orifice flow should be toward the intake
If the air flows out of the intake port then I guess the orifice should be pointing away???

Gosh darn this thing is bugging the heck out of me

I just want to help that poor car
got to watch out for it...
