Rather than disconnecting the hose here is a simpler test for servo functio=
n.
With the engine off pump the brakes several times to deplete the residual v=
acuum.
Then apply a steady pressure on the brake pedal as you start the engine.
If the servo is working you will feel the brake pedal drop slightly.

Price,
I assume pedal pressure (not pedal travel) is your question.=20
When you replaced the master cylinder did you replace it with the same size=
 (I.D.) as the one you took out? Also, is it the same size as the original =
MC size for a Phase 2 BJB?=20
I would assume that you could test whether or not the servo is functioning =
by simply comparing the breaking pressure required with the vacuum line con=
nected & disconnected. It would be a good idea to plug the line or fitting =
at the manifold when you disconnect it so that air is not sucked into the i=
ntake manifold during the test. If you do not notice any difference then th=
e servo is not functioning.
