Default Proper Mounting of a Fuel Tank

Guys, I've got a really "dumb" question. I installed a Brodak BH-487 in my Novi and I though I had it installed correctly until today when I tried to get some break-in time on the new Brodak 40 engine. Now this tank is a 3oz tank and after 4 attempts the engine won't burn more than 1.5 oz before the engine dies; leaving 1.5 oz in the tank. My question is: what is the correct positioning for the tank? Looking head on at the plane, the engine is inverted, the feed line is on the left side with the uniflow line and the vent line on the right side (on the top, toward the canopy). Now did I goof on mounting it? Looking at the Brodak picture it looks like the uniflow and vent lines are opposite what I actually have. I'm so frustrated? Did I goof the setup??
