It appears as though the troll hole carbs do not have the port drilled And tapped in the same location as the original
This was covered in the trollhole's carb thread a long time ago... He offers two solutions
Bend the line or drill and tap the other side and cap the other one.
I'll offer a third - I made a new line

I have same carb and lucky the 2F fuel line was directed toward the radiator as the carb is.
Ideally the carb could go either way with a cap, but here is another option I had to deploy due to crud in my line. Seems to work...but at your own risk

How does your comment help him?
Most people who have an original line that comes from the valve cover side like above just bend the line around to fit in the front. Just make small bends and take your time. Hundreds of people have done this solution.
It does not help. My point implied that if a person buys a carb (or any other part that is supposed to fit the vehicle you have), it should fit--period. The customer should not need to make a bunch of modifications to make the part work. if the part(or vehicle) needs modification before installation, I would expect a disclaimer stating such.
Your 'disclaimer' stated this: "I've been testing my prototypes on a stock 79 2f for the past 6 months. Not a single issue. It's pretty much a bolt on application."
I don't see anything about having to modify the fuel lines to make it work. I would assume that given the issue dirtycruiser raised, there would be a pipe/elbow/hose that would have come with the carb to make the thing fit properly.

Sounds like "pretty much" is the operative phrase. Look, it's not an original Toyota carb. You can't expect everything to be perfect. Bend the line and be done with it.

Don't see the need for an elbow or any other crazy solution. This is really a non issue and is clearly discussed in the product's thread. .. which should be read in its entirety prior to purchasing.

What also should be read is all the good threads about trying to get your Troll Hole Carb to work correctly. First suggestion is to open it up. And make sure it's not full of aluminum shavings. I can provide some beautiful pics off my first carb I received. I agree with the comment above suggesting a product should be ready to bolt on and use when it arrives.
I wil be ordering a new Trollhole carburetor soon. I asked a few questions up front and the reply was quick. The carburetor is an exact copy of a 1983 Aisan. A rebuild kit for that model Aisan will fit this carburetor. The jets are the same and comes with high altitude jets stored in the fuel drain, as with Aisan. Marshall posts pictures of the various carburetor options, a person can see what they are ordering in advance. In my case it is the unit modified for cable throttle. Since Toyota used a variety of Aisan carburetors (consult the SOR carb identifier section) a person should not expect one carburetor to fit all applications. Additionally, when folks have commented the carburetor ran rich and they "made a few adjustments" is not a very clear indication of what was done. If a carburetor runs rich you change the jets to correct the condition. The jets you need may not come with the carburetor. I do not "expect" the high altitude jets stored inside the carb to be the exact ones for my altitude (8,400 ft) and I will probably have to change them more than once to achieve proper operation. I consider this to be an owner responsibility, not the vendor. He simply cannot provide a one size fits all carburetor. Just my two cents worth, I'm looking forward to receiving one of these carburetors.
I would also like to chime in regarding the ported vs manifold vacuum advance distributor hookup. My existing 1 bbl Aisan used the ported vacuum for the distributor. I now run manifold vacuum to the distributor and it is much smoother than before. Research indicates that the ported vacuum was an early day emissions attempt.
