Bad booster? Replaced master, no power brakes, vacuum leak

A couple weeks ago my master went bad and started pushing fluid from the front reservoir to the rear. This morning I replaced the master, only to find that I don't have power brakes.

I noticed a hissing, pinched the hose from check valve to booster and hissing stops/idle drops.

Is there any chance I could have bumped something that I need to fix, or do I need a new booster?

Yes, if your hearing the hissing the booster is bad. Not a hard swap if I remember, my failed on my 85 several years ago.
