Yes, the engine is a 195.6 OHV. As Tom J. can attest, pushrods are easily bent on that engine if the valves are sticking. Tom's valves were sticking due to varnish in the old gasoline on his car. I would advise you to take his advice about draining the tank or at least try to start the car using an auxiliary source of fresh fuel. You'll want to clean up (or possibly replace) the battery cables too, judging from your underhood photos. The wheel covers appear to be later model AMC wire wheel covers. Perhaps when you clean them up you may be able to detect the AMC logo on the center hub. I have a 65 American 4-door very similar to your car I am trying to resurrect right now.
