First of all, learn how to post to Usenet. Posting HTML is a no-no, since
most newsreaders can't handle it. Usenet is a text only medium. Take a
look at the quoted material above to see what a mess you posted.
Secondly, there was no 289 in 1968. It's a 302.
If the engine is trying to kick off but won't, it could be the timing.
Try rotating the distributor back and forth while crankiing it.
