Is she dying or just broke in?

ok got my vacuum gauge hooked up to the front nipple on the carb spacer. at fully warmed up and at 1000 rpm idle she is pulling ~14. If I rev it up and let off fully it tops out at ~20 or so. I remember reading that 18 is ideal at idle. Does this mean seals or going or just a simple vacuum leak. she has 150k miles on the clock if that helps and rats nest is removed.

Thanks,
Ron

If it idles fine don't worry about it just showing a little age.
