The only way you know for sure if your head uses tapered plugs or the gasket plugs is to look at the plug hole.

On a 50 year old engine, your head could be from a 230, a 250 or a 292. It could be from an earlier engine with gasket plugs or the later style. If you insist it's an all original, unmolested engine, you're a dreamer.
