12 inches isn't that low, chances are good if it's got a cam with much duration it's normal... Adding more base timing may help increase the vacuum & eliminate the bog.. there may be other issues that need looking at but I'd start with checking base timing.... Knowing cam specs would help...

Start your engine and open the valve on the torch (DON'T LIGHT IT). Move the torch nozzle around any areas that could potentially be a leak. If there is a leak you will notice an immediate increase in RPM.
Wow, amazing little trick.
I love this site. You never know when you are going to read something like this, that someone like myself would never even think of, no way, no how.
