Default vacuum? how to get a higher pressure?

im getting about 19in/hg right now. i read that is on the low end of the pressure that should be created at idle? so either i have a small leak somwhere or something else can be adjusted? what can i do?

id put a few more miles on it before i do anything.. if your ring end gaps were to big that could have an effect but get it tuned and just drive it for awhile.. just my 2cts.

As you drive it the rings should seat more making the vacuum go up some.

As others said. Don't worry, put more miles on the car and keep an eye on it.
