Mine idles around 15"  goes up to about  22" during de-acceleration,
but I'm getting my vacuum from the manifold, but shouldn't make any
difference.  If you run a line all the way up to the dash for a
permanent gauge like my VDO unit, I was told to use very small
plastic hose(like air shock plastic line size.  The thinking that
bigger piping will suck the engine dry of needed vacuum.


YMMV
