James, 

I don't have a '70, but as I recall the '70 vehicles use the second 
switch on the trans to affect ignition timing when the car is in top 
gear. It was part of their emission control gear. I don't remember how 
it works, my car is a 67.5 and doesn't have it.

To be sure what the switch is, just put an ohm meter across the switch 
and go through the gears. I think the switch will change states when you 
go in to top gear.

Peace,
Pat
