I over stayed in the US for 6 years back in the 70s. Can I return with a tourist visa after 35 years?

Whether you will receive a visa depends on the ties you can show to your home country, the documents you provide, and the answers you give at your interview. None of us are the Consular Officer reviewing your application. Therefore, none of us can really answer this question. You'll have to apply.

You received a 10 year multiple entry visa before and didn't overstay, so that's a big point in your favor. It seems unlikely they would count your previous overstay against you now when they were ok with it back in 1998.

Your visa application form will ask about your previous travel to the US. You should answer those questions honestly and accurately, as your chances of receiving a visa will drop dramatically if they find you have lied to them.

That said, the decision whether to issue a visa is a case-by-case judgement and will depend on your entire application and personal circumstances.
