check that the very butt end of the neck isn't too tight in the body- sometimes that causes the neck to react too easily to gravity and the neck wants to rotate to a more 'fitting' position, if the joint is very tight.
If it needs a shim, ie, there is actual space in there, I would try some business card, but a strip of wood veneer will be the best result.
Also, the holes in the body for your neck screws might be too small, and you are fighting them when you are pulling the neck into its 'correct' position, when it is tightened down it should stay there, but again, if there is room for movement, you will be fighting gravity at some point.
The neck will move to where it is most comfortable, you need to make it comfortable in the correct place, introducing a shim without finding out where the issue lies could lead to a later crack in the neck pocket somewhere.
Ask me how I know.
I would do that if the pocket is significantly too large - as a lot of 70s ones are - and a shim isn’t going to restrict the movement enough.
