Crushers et al, where is the fuel bleeder?

Where is it located on the 3B fuel pump body and what does it look like?

Thanks,

Upper right hand side of the injection pump. Slot screw with a regular nut behind if my memory is right. If you're just replacing the fuel filter you shouldn't need to bleed the pump though. I first make sure the engine is warm when I change the fuel filter then I just crack the bleeder on the fuel filter mounting and pump the bleeder pump until I get straight fuel. Fire up the engine. If it doesn't run smooothly I crack (NO MORE loose than that 'cause it discharges fuel at up to 1700psi) the injection pipes one at a time and let the air bleed out there. Once the last injector pipe is bled it should be fine.
