I'm trying to get ready to leave tonight for IRP in Indianapolis, i had to replace a rear brake line, now i can't find the bleeder. I looked everywhere on the back of the drum (where they are on most cars), where is it?

There is only one bleeder for both rear drums. If you follow the line from the chassis, you will see that it goes to one drum and then that line goes to the other drum...where the bleeder is.
