vacuum gauge should be connected to an intake manifold source. 15 no load seems a little low. check for vacuum leaks. the rest is normal.

my cars does the same thing. Will sit at about 17 and when i shift into drive it goes down to about 15. only thign that i could come up with was to kick the idle up a LITTLE bit and then seemed to help my rough idle. Outside of that it is normal for a auto to drop a little bit of vaccum. ANyways what car are we wroking with here.
