Yes as long as it's pretty much steady reading with no big fluctuation of the needle. I use to have 10" vacuum with a big cam. I've advance the base timing extra 4 degrees and running close to 16 inch now.

The next thing I was going to do is check/adjust timing. If I need to adjust the timing, I was going to re-check the fuel/air mix to see if I can do better.
Thanks!

Yes, my car has a large cam. I am at about 15 with no jumping. I achieved this as the highest idle vaccum I could get while adjusting the carb fuel/air mixture. Car seems to running better, smoother, and much smoother idle.
