Vacuum Leak on Control Head Switch?

I purchased a '72 GMC 4x4 about six months ago that has factory air. My truck has the three port vacuum head on the contol unit in the dash and I noticed that one of the ports was missing a vacuum line. Using the diagrams I found on this forum, I installed all new vacuum hoses on the main vacuum cannister, the other two vacuum canisters that control the vents and the hot water control valve. Everything was replaced. I wanted things fixed before getting the system charged. After doing this, there is now an audible vacuum leak right at the control unit. That seems to be the only place that's leaking, all the other connections seem to be fine. Is my fix to simply get a new control unit and hook it up? Is it common for this part to fail like this? If I need to order a new one, any suggestions on who sells a good quality unit? Thanks for any help.
