IMPORTANT NOTES
C ongratulations! You have purchased the
finest street supercharger available for the
Mustang GT. 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 sock-
ets 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 sys-
tem. If it is not operating within normal parame-
ters, 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, experience installing superchargers,
personal skill level, and preparedness for the job.
This estimate does not include time for the initial
vehicle inspection, cleaning, fine tuning, or trou-
ble-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-aluminum clean-
er/degreaser, and cover the distributor and any
electronics with a plastic bag to prevent water from
entering.
