how do you adjust the timing on a 12 volt M?

What am I missing here? I've read the threads on turning the distributor etc.. but I cannot figure out what/ how i am supposed to do that. Exactly what am I supposed to be turning to advance the timing? The distributor housing? if so, how do i loosen it. everything seems to be a solid, single piece running back over the shaft and then bolting up with two bolts. From what I've read I suspect my problem with backfiring and lack of power is late timing. Thanks in advance.
