Im looking at a drive from Minneapolis, MN to the west coast after the
new year (prob Jan 2nd) and wondering about any specific winter problems
I should be prepared for in trying this in an aircooled Vanagon (81) -
outside of being cold myself anyway.

Actually, I do have a BA6 underneath and the thing works like a charm
right now that its only 35-40, not sure how well it will do when its
colder than that.

Should I cover the air vents?

Its still points, no electronic ignition, any specific problems with that?

Thanks for any tips, suggestions or other tomfoolery...
