Re: rough idle,low vaccum
Wow pretty general. vacuum leaks obviously, valves too tight, timing wrong, for starters.

Re: rough idle,low vaccum
Do a smoke test to pinpoint any vacuum leaks.

Re: rough idle,low vaccum
Compression test next. Or short out one wire at a time see if one cylinder does not change the engine speed or roughness.

Re: rough idle,low vaccum
My 2 cents: Faulty or incorrect PCV valve or hoses. Poor valve seating. Restricted idle passages. Bad coil. This is in addition to everything else mentioned.
