What Barry said was to disconnect the Vacuum Line from the Vacuum Shutoff Valve on the Fuel Injection pump and plug the Vacuum Line.
That means there is no way Vacuum can have an effect on the Vacuum Shutoff.
If you drive the Car and there is still a loss of power the power loss is not being caused by Vacuum getting to the Vacuum Shutoff Valve.
If it is stull Slow Check your throttle linkages at the Fire Wall. There is a Rubber part that rots away and some have a Big Plastic Ball/Bushing unseen behind the Bracket that crumbles away.
Or simply hold onto the Fuel Injection Pump Throttle Lever and have some one step slowly on the Accelerator Pedal and watch the movement of the Throttle Linkages. If there is a lot of slop in the linkages try to find the cause.
In the Manual there is specific lengths for the linkages.
