Who deals with these things and can set me up if possible would that be an electrician? Any suggestions for someone who maybe specializes in such things? I know the nest won’t work wondering if I have other options.. thanks..
I assume you mean 40 years old.

I'd be very surprised that you can't get a Nest to work on a 40 year old heating system. And to be honest, if it doesn't, I doubt much else will because the Nest is pretty versatile.

You might need a slight bit of rewiring to allow the Nest to work though.
