As mentioned, function wise it doesn't make much difference as far as the heater. Whether it will to your manifold I can't say. The hottest water is coming off the head and is pushed out that center opening because the pump is pushing water returned from the radiator into the front of block. The heater port opening on the pump is actually in the return from radiator hose side. Whether the degrees of difference in temps is going to make that much difference in a moderate climate is a question. If the car was in the Arctic circle then it might.
I agree the illustration is not the best but better than nothing. The valve is in the same location on your car as the 55-6 and is almost the same valve. Believe the sensing element and works portion on the inside of car may be a bit different to better catch the flow of hot air from the different plenum layouts but the valve portion is the same.
The water flow on that V8 illustration is out the end of head, under heater core to valve, out valve up to bottom tube of front heater, out top tube to underseat heater and out underseat core to the water pump return. All components just have the two ports -- in and out.
