biglou,
You might want to determine if your engine has mechanical or hydraulic lifters (I think that is not mentioned by you, above). This info might not be critical to starting your engine, but it is nice to know.
One way to be almost certain of which you have is to find and post the Engine Serial Number here (the ESL is stamped into the block, to the rear of the distributor).
Someone here will help you decode it.
