I was hoping some of you experts could render a little help with history.

What year did the Mercury 200's come with the Brown decals?

I did a search on here but struck out.

I appreciate any assistance.

I was thinking 84 but not sure

thanks, that is what i thought,

would those have been 2.4L engines, correct? wasn't until 90 or 91 before they went to 2.5?

Correct 2.4L, '91 was the crossover to the 2.5L 200.

Pyro had a post showing pics of alot of Merc cowls. Try doing a search on his old posts or send him a P/M.
