C engine?

I was trying to get this 288 to fire off after sitting for over 50 years. Turned the engine by hand for a bit, then with the starter, then compression tested and found all were under 90 psi. Put some oil in the cylinders and had 2 come up to 90-95 psi but could only get a few coughs from the engine while the rest were still low on compression. I plan on pulling the head and pan and taking the pistons out to check the rings and clean them up. I am looking for a new set of rings and may have found a NOS set but they state they are for a "C" engine. Could someone point me on how to identify a C engine?
