5 pounds of vaccum does not sound right for these engines. What is your compression in  all cylinders? You could have a bad air leak in your intake manifold, maybe replace your intake manifold gasket, uper, and lower. If your compression is low id check  for blown head  gasket. Five psi. of vaccum is way low. Any check engine codes?
