You should read pump pressure with the vacuum line disconnected, regulated pressure with the vacuum line connected, IIRC. Look for fuel in the vacuum line, leak in diaphram.

The MAP sensor on my 1991 460 is on the passenger side near the firewall.

You should also read fuel pressure with the key on and engine off.
Yes, you should have nearly full pressure with the vacuum disconnected.

Fuel pressures:

45-55 key on engine off (KOEO)

8-10 psi lower key on, Engine running (KOER)

Pressure should come up 8-10 with KOER and vacuum disconected.
