vacuum & timing

On my 72 911T w/ MFI I noticed that when I pulled the vacuum hoses from the MFI that there was a distinct difference in the amount of vacuum from the right side vacuum fitting vs. the left side vacuum fitting. I noticed this because when I removed just the right side vacuum hose from its fitting there was no difference in the idle. However, when I removed the left side vacuum hose the idle increased as per the instruction of my new timing light. I out my finger on the little tube on the right side manifold and could barely feel any vacuum. Then I put my finger on the left side vacuum tube and it seems as though all the vacuum is being create from this side of the MFI> QUESTION: Is this normal or do I have a vacuum leak on the right side of my MFI and could this explain the loud clicking I hear in the area of number 4's injector air stack. Note: Timing is dead on and valves adjusted correctly but the damn thing barely idles at 400 rpm without the help of the manual throttle. Any help would be appreciated.
