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... airkooledchris |
