you must adapt the vacuum gauge direct at the intake manifold without with no influence of the vacuumpump on the fuelpump
if you have 15 lbs and the needle is steady everything is OK
eventualy advance the timing a little more to get a bit more vacuum
if the jeep drives fine without hesitating leave it that way _________________ 1942 GPW 71336 my son's jeep restored now

The detailed answer is in TM 9-8012 for the M38 Page 80, Paragraph 79c6.
Idle 650 RPM vac at manifold elbow 18 to 21" at sea level (subtract 1" of vac for each 1000' above sea level.
For the M38A1 use TM 9-8014 page 103 paragraph 107 which shows 17 to 21" at sea level. _________________ Wes K
