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 begin-

ning 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 the pressure washer
found at self-serve car washes. Use a safe-
for-aluminum cleaner/degreaser, and cover
the distributor and any electronics with a
plastic bag to prevent water from entering.
You are undoubtedly eager to get started,
but please take a little more time to insure
that your safety is not in jeopardy. A
moment’s lack of attention may cause seri-
ous injury to you, or to someone else who
happens to be standing nearby. By follow-
ing some simple safety precautions, you can
avoid many potential dangers. The follow-
ing list is not meant to be a comprehensive
list, but rather it is meant to make you
aware of some of the risks, and encourage
you to take a safety minded approach to
your work area.

ongratulations! You have purchased
the finest street supercharger avail-
able for the Mustang GT. The center-

piece 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 written in order
of sequence, and photographs and drawings
have been included to illustrate the text.
This will allow you quick parts identifica-
tion 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 sup-
ply of buckets for the storing 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
parameters, we do not recommend the
installation or use of the supercharger.
For the quickest installation time, we sug-
gest 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 pre-
paredness for the job. This estimate does
not include time for the initial vehicle
inspection, cleaning, fine tuning, or trouble-
shooting. Once again, we recommend read-
ing the manual before beginning the
process. We are available for tech support at
(805) 487-3796, Monday through Friday,
8AM - 4:30 PM PST.
