In short, it's complicated, because the rules have changed over the years. Going back as far as before 1989, it would even depend on whether or not the judge declared you "infamous" on the judgment form. There are different rules that apply during certain periods of time, so the exact date of the conviction, and date of sentencing, are important.
You're probably not going to like my answer, but you need to see an attorney.
