Hydraulic Vs. Solid.

Pardon my ignorance, but how do I recognize a solid vs a hydraulic
lifter. I am in the process off rebuilding my engine, I am an amateur. I
am taking the engine apart and took the push rods and the lifters out,
the lifters have like a cup shape at the top where the push rods
contacts the lifter. I will be installing a Patrick's cam and when I
called them they asked me if the lifters are solid vs hydraulic. I would
like to keep the original lifter and push rods. I had my father measure
them and they don't have much wear, he is a retired machinist and has
the right tools and skills to make the measurements. Can anyone guide me
to recognize the lifter to be able to order the right cam.

Thanks,

Antonio,
