You actually measured the vaccum? Does it have a huge cam? You can install a hydroboost brake system and the brakes wont use vaccum.

There should be an plug on the back of the intake for the brake booster hose....and if for some reason there isnt, hydroboost is a very good upgrade and would be about the same cost as using a vac pump.
