It means you have around 9psi of vacuum with the throttle closed and will go to around 1000 mbar with the throttle open, if the cam timing is out you will see a higher figure
buy or borrow a pressure bleeder, you can sometimes get the pedal back that way,
or
If you know anyone with Renault clip or a good diagnostic tool you can fire the abs modulator circuits individually which is the way it should be done if the abs valve block has had air in it.
To clarify for people who come across this thread in the future,
75amp is 172 cup fitment only,
All standard 172's & all 182's inc cup and trophys use a 110amp alternator
( just to add there were a few rare 172 cups that were spec'd with air con that also used the 110 amp too).
@cmcquitty Do you have the Yoke Retainer Plate fitted?

A 75amp won't fit in the place of 110amp and even if it did the lower amp rating wouldn't cause your issues,
Check the main charge wiring from the Alt back and the battery cable isn't shorting to earth, but other than that I would put it down to bad luck with the Alternator rather than a fault...
the secondary latch (the bit you pull to release under the front of the bonnet) stuck in the released position so if the bonnet wasn't shut properly it would fly up once you got some speed up
The gearing is pretty shocking for hillclimbing, I ended up going down the plate diff and 5.25 final drive route, this gave me a second gear that acted as a long first and the rest of the gears were nice and close together, this is the box with a standard engine fitted
