vacuum lines, tuning carb.

So, I decide to tune my truck up. Get a hold of a timing light, timing was like 13 btc. Set it to 4 btc. Can't find the vacuum gauge, so I still need to tune the carb. I was looking at a video on tuning the Edelbrock carb I have, and they say that the vacuum line to the distributor is generally better hooked to the right port on the carb which always has vacuum, and usually only hooked on the left one for emissions vehicles. Mine was hooked to the left one, so I looked at what was the right one, it looks like it runs to the transmission. Didn't hop under the truck to double check though.

Basically, are the vacuum lines hooked up correct, with the drivers side on the carb going to the tranny, and pass. side going to dist? Or does it even matter?
