INTRODUCTION
C ongratulations! You have purchased the
finest street Supercharger available. The
centerpiece of this kit is the highly effi-
cient and reliable Paxton Automotive Corp.
NOVI-1200 supercharger. A mechanically driv-
en (by belt) centrifugal blower (supercharger).
This kit comes with all of the parts you’ll need
for a successful installation. The operations
required have been grouped in order of
sequence. Photos and drawings accompany the
text, allowing quick orientation and parts iden-
tification.
Installation requires a selection of tools which
are listed on
page vi .
We also suggest that you obtain a shop manual
and become familiar with the details of your
cars systems.
For best results follow the instructions closely
and in sequence. The average installation time
for this kit is 6 hours. Your actual installation
time will depend on skill level and working
conditions. The estimate does not include time
for initial vehicle inspection, cleaning, fine tun-
ing or troubleshooting. Before even picking up
a wrench, read this entire manual. We are
available for technical assistance at (805) 487-
3796, 8am-4:30pm pacific time.
After reading the manual, verify that all major
assembly groups are present in the main kit
box. You should have ample space to layout the
components. As you remove a box or bag from
the main kit, note the identification label and
compare it with the parts list. Please check the
box for small parts.
Paxton makes every effort to insure that all
parts are included in the box. However, if you
discover any missing or mislabeled parts, please
contact Paxton by phone for service.
*** WARNING ***
DO NOT attempt installation if any part(s) are miss-
ing from this kit. Failure to contact Paxton prior to
beginning installation will result in a charge for any
missing parts.
Before starting the installation, we suggest
your engine compartment be clean. You can
clean the engine and compartment with a pres-
sure washer (such as those used at self serve car
washes) and a safe-for-aluminum
cleaner/degreaser. Cover the distributor with a
plastic bag to prevent water from entering.
*** CAUTION ***
We do not recommend proceeding with the kit instal-
lation unless your vehicle is within normal operating
parameters.
You are undoubtedly enthusiastic about getting
started on your project, but take just a little
more time to insure that your safety is not jeop-
ardized. A moment’s lack of attention can
result in an accident, as can failure to observe
certain simple safety precautions. The possibili-
ty of an accident will always exist, and the fol-
lowing points should not be considered a com-
prehensive list of all dangers. Rather, they are
intended to make you aware of the risk and to
encourage a safety conscious approach to all
work you do on your vehicle.
We look forward to hearing from you, particu-
larly if you have any comments or suggestions
