Could anyone tell me the year of this old Merc?<br /><br />I am not sure what numbers are needed, but, The serial number is 2483001. <br /><br />Here are some notables,in case that helps:<br /> It has an old distributer type ignition. <br /> Straight six, of course. <br /> unpainted block.<br /> Red flywheel. <br /> Wrap around cowl/hood.<br /><br />Thanks in advance for any help.
