Laith,

If possible, I would scan and register the paper map and use it as reference.  If 
that's not possible, you can "eye ball" it with your existing vector files/tables.
 
The manual geocoding process is relatively easy:
 
1.  Open your reference vector files/tables (or registered scan).
2.  Open your tabular information in a browser.  
3.  Make your tabular info table "editable".
4.  Cascade your map and browser windows (so you can see and use both of them). 
5.  Select a single record in your tabular info table.
6.  Click on the TITLE BAR of the map window to make it the active window.
7.  Select the "symbol" tool and click the correct location in the map window.
 
That record is now geocoded.  Repeat the process 170 times.
 
Another thought is to place all 171 points in a new table with a unique id attribute 
that matches a unique id attribute in your tabular info table.  Then combine the two 
table with a SQL a join.  

Good Luck.
