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.

To set the timing marks on a 1970 Plymouth Road Runner, you need to locate the timing tab on the engine, typically on the front cover. Align the timing mark on the harmonic balancer with the appropriate degree mark on the timing tab, usually around 5-10 degrees BTDC (before top dead center) for optimal ignition timing. It's advisable to use a timing light for accurate adjustments while the engine is running. Always refer to the specific service manual for precise timing specifications based on your engine type.

The ignition timing for a 1970 Dodge Challenger with a 440 Magnum engine is typically set between 5 to 10 degrees BTDC (Before Top Dead Center) at idle. However, it's important to check the specific service manual for your vehicle, as timing may vary based on factors like engine modifications and fuel type. For optimal performance, consider using a timing light to ensure accurate adjustments. Always verify that the vacuum advance is functioning properly, as it can affect timing under various engine loads.
