Disconnect the main vac line coming from the pump and measure vacuum. Piersburg was an OE supplier and a new pump shouldn't be bad.

You can also try plugging the smaller lines coming off the main line and measure at one of the small lines while leaving the booster connected. You should have ~18' of vacuum. If not, measure directly at the pump. A booster or other leak may look like a bad pump and you want to be sure before spending a couple of Ben Franklins.

One of the competitors was way cheaper than other sites when I was in the market for a pump. Look around.
