Forgot to mention the one way valve has been checked for proper orientation and function. I pulled the cables at both points, they feel close enough to the same to press on for adding more vac lines. If this doesn't work, I will attach the 1.25" arm to the bell housing to rule out a hidden anomaly in it's function. It's too close to just give up. I believe the lack of vacuum based on the gauge reading is why it disconnects, all of the other function tests check out.
