68 Ghia with single pin. When caliper is mounted on car is the bleeder valve at the top or bottom of the caliper? Should of took a picture before I removed both calipers.

After reading another thread that stated to bleed the upper bleeder valve on a caliper with 2 bleeder valves I was fairly certain the bleeder should be at the top. Your comment confirms this. Thank you!
