OK, I found the picture I was looking for. This is the 73mm SVO cvaliper mounted to a Fox spindle. Notice how the bleeder points almost straight up. It would appear that it would allow for easy bleeding. BUT, the is actually a picture of how to do it the WRONG way.
When installed correctly, the bleeder points straight back, and is almost parallel with the ground.
Soon after taking this picture, I learned the correct way, and swapped the calipers.
This picture was taken a couple years later. It's a little difficult to see. But the bleeder is properly oriented.

Just an FYI... on Maximum Motorsport's website, they state the following under the SVO caliper kit they sell...
Best used in conjunction with a rear disk brake conversion kit, and our SVO master cylinder, BMC-1. Not recommended for use with rear drum brakes.

If that wasn't the case, then I would have purchased 73MM calipers as well. Instead, I just opted in for a new pair of 60MM.
