Hard to start when cold

It was on the left side I moved it over to the right side should I move it back to the left side?
I would move it back yes. Dont worry about what the instructions say about emissions, you want it on ported vacuum, go back and read post #26. Then I would get your hands on a timing light and vacuum gauge and post some actual numbers of what your motor is doing. There are members here far more knowledgeable than me who can help you more seeing some actual numbers.
