Paxton Superchargers Ford Mustang Cobra NOVI 2000 - Manual (Page 2)

Congratulations! You have purchased the finest street supercharger available for the
Mustang Cobra. The centerpiece of this kit is the High Efficiency PAXTON Supercharger, a
mechanically driven centrifugal blower.
This kit comes with all the parts you will need to install the supercharger. The instruction
manual has been edited in order of sequence, and photographs and drawings have been
included to illustrate the text. This will allow you quick part identification and orientation.
The installation will require metric and SAE sockets and wrenches, a hand drill and bits, an
Air Hammer (and compressor), a 3/8” x 18 NPT tap, screwdrivers, and a supply of buckets for
the reserve of coolant and oils.
We suggest that you obtain a copy of a Mustang shop manual for your model of car. This
may be obtained from your dealer, or may be ordered by mail from Helm Publications at (800)
782-4356. Become familiar with the details of your car’s system. If it is not operating within
normal parameters, we do not recommend the installation or use of the supercharger.
For the quickest installation time, we suggest that you read this manual thoroughly before
beginning. Make sure that you understand the process, have identified the areas of the car
that you will be working on, and have the tools that you will need on hand. The average
installation time is 8 to 10 hours, but your time will depend on your working conditions, experi-
ence installing superchargers, personal skill level, and preparedness for the job. This esti-
mate does not include time for the initial vehicle inspection, cleaning, fine tuning, or trouble-
shooting. Once again, we recommend reading the manual before beginning the process.
We are available for tech support at (805) 604-1336, Monday through Friday, 7AM - 3 PM
PST.
After reading the manual, verify that all major assembly groups are present in the main kit
box. As you remove a box or bag, note the identification label and compare it to the parts list.
PAXTON AUTOMOTIVE makes every effort to insure that all parts
are included in the box. If you discover that you are
missing any part, or that a part was damaged in shipping,
call PAXTON immediately. DO NOT begin installation if a part is missing.
Failure to contact PAXTON prior to beginning installation
will result in a charge for the missing part.
We suggest that the engine compartment be cleaned before the installation. You can clean
the engine with a pressure washer that is found at self-serve car washes. Use a safe-for-alu-
minum cleaner/degreaser, and cover the distributor and any electronics with a plastic bag to
prevent water from entering.
