Can't Find the Distributor Clamp!

Folks: I'm somewhat embarrassed to be asking this, but here goes. I'm getting ready to adjust the timing on my 23rd series (with Auto-Lite distributor). I'm feeling around the base of the distributor, and I can't detect anything that "feels" like the distributor clamp, much less figure out what tool I need to get in there to loosen it. It seems like a very tight clearance under there. Do I need a mirror, or do I need to get up underneath the vehicle, or what? I assumed this would be easy, but I guess not for me. A picture would be helpful!
