Little update:
Ended up putting in a vacuum canister. Holds vacuum and after revving it holds over 20 in and makes a difference when using the brakes. Not the best fix, but it works. Ended up mounting it to the positive battery terminal position after moving to over to the stock air intake filter bolt. It's the only area it would fit.
Went with this canister and vacuum gauge:
