Low vacuum pressure

What can be done to increase the vacuum presure on a 350 TPI
engine (not stock)?? Engine is stalling with the A/C on and also in slow traffic. Otherwise runs great with the A/C off and no load.

vacuum and preasure are two differant things. if your vacuum is low you ought to be looking for a leak. if you have driveability problems you ought to trouble shoot it a little and make sure your tune up is good and that there are no codes stored.

oh ok i thought you had a driveability problem. vacuum pump would do it, but that's a pretty drastic move. change in timing or af mixture would change it, but i doubt if it'd be much.
