Since you have the vacuum gauge, this article will help you use it for troubleshooting.

I dont have a regular manifold pressure gauge, just an industrial type vacuum gauge ( I really gotta get an MP gauge). Anyway, the vacuum gauge was indicating 4" of vacuum.

 

Where are you measuring the 4” vacuum?  If it is near the ports it is no unusual; if it is out before the runners; something is wrong.
