The "Ram's Horn" manifold is so named for the shape...they look like a ram's horn. Some are more exaggerated than others, but they all have about the same basic shape.
Most small block Corvettes used this type of manifold, due to the routing of the plug wires. As far as a difference between the ram's horn and other manifolds, they are not much different, as far as performance...there might be small gains from some of the designs, but not much.

The service manual would be the best place to see the p-brake set-up, and how it should be assembled. I can maybe scan the pages and send them to you, if needed, unless someone else has a diagram somewhere.
