Lifter question

-
Pull the valve covers and look.
 

If it's a totally stock original engine, it has solid lifters. Anything could have been changed in the last 55-60 years, so, the only way to know for sure is what 69FBCuda said, take off a valve cover and look. Adjustable rockers, and it's likely a solid lifter setup. I'd get a good light and look down to the actual lifter however, and see if you can see a circlip on the lifter. If you do, it's hydraulic, if not, it's solid.
