gasket between master and booster?

gasket between master and booster?
Can somebody please enlighten me on the existence of a gasket between the master cylinder and the brake booster on a 1966 442?
Engine idles slightly (!) rougher, when not stepping hard on the brake (then perfect).
All vacuum lines are definitely tight but there could be a loss, as master and booster just "sit" metal on metal.
Thx, Alex.

Note that there are two styles, depending on year, the flat ones and the cupped ones.

Eric: that was my mechanic's opinion also, but the "hard on brake thing" made me think.
Joe: will order all, as it gets on my nerves and shipping to my country takes ages...
Thank you both! Really appreciate how fast this forum is.

I experienced this myself so maybe you should check it also. check around the area when the car is running and I mean the master to vacuum booster for a vacuum leak the booster might be bad. I went through this before on mine. check with a vacuum gauge also for fluctuations of vacuum levels.

I just changed my booster because it was leaking. When I pulled it out I found that the assembly had broken on the rear allowing the push rod to flop around inside the power booster that created a small leak. Push on the pedal and the engine would drop 200 rpm, release and they went back up.
