Answer
There are several site on the net that offer decode services and charts for free. This is one that I use and they are good. Go to web site  http://www.classiccardatabase.com/postwar-models/Oldsmobile.php to decode the VIN.
his one also works to decode the 1970 VIN    http://www.tpocr.com/oldsvin8.html
This one is for a trim tag decoder for a 1969 but should be very close to your 1970   http://www.tpocr.com/oldsvin8.html
also check http://www.tpocr.com/ and then follow the menu as it lists all kinds of stuff.
