I don't know for fact, however, if you cannot find it under the hood somewhere, on a sticker, then, I would just put it at, say 4 degrees before top dead center, or advanced, and go from there. On an older vehicle like that what they say to set it at, and what it has to set at, are two different things. It may not run right at the figure they give, due to todays gas qualities, and maybe a little bit of carbon build up on the top of the pistons which ups the compression ratio further. I would start with it about there, and if it doesn't ping, run-on, or crank slow when it is hot, leave it. Your altitude will factor in as well. I would bet that they recommend 4-6 degrees advance, anyway.
Assuming this is a truck, if it has a standard transmission, TDC. If it has a automatic transmission, 4 degrees BTDC.
any international dealer should be able to get the parts you need

1970!!! Geez... "0" degrees I think. Better call your local auto parts dealer and ask to be sure.

what is the weight and length of a 1970 chevy shortbed truck?
The mark is on the harmonic balancer. The pointer should be visible by looking down from the passenger side of the engine compartment. They're usually bolted to the timing cover.
hot wire on the timing light goes to pos. side of the battery and the neg. side of timing light goes to ground on the engine someplace and then the plug clip goes on the #1 spark plug wire.
