No idea what the bleeder valve he talks about might be. Obviously Packard never used it if it was Cadillac only but the port is just a hole present on both versions Packard used so keep us advised on how and where you place it if you modify the casting.
The new casting has the place for the vent cast into it but it's simply not drilled. I'll try to get more specifics tomorrow but basically the hole is drilled through the cast bit on center with the bore and parallel with the cylinder's mounting surface which is also perpendicular to the bore. The hole is about 1/8" diameter and is located just outside the snap ring groove. From the reservoir side where the top plate goes, the hole is relieved (made larger) nearly through but just shy of breaking out into the bore. It appears to stop about 1/8" back from breaking through.
