While driving my Cougar at lunch today I heard a strange whining noise from the engine. Fearing the worst, I pulled over and found nothing visibly wrong with it. Still, the whine persisted so I decided to drop to third and floor it. The definition of anemic greeted me and my boost gauge mockingly told me I was not generating any pressure over manifold vaccuum. A call to Vortech revealed yet another revision in the jackshaft/compressor connection was made to prevent what happened to my supercharger kit. The shaft runs from my accessory belt to the compressor and connects using splines that had finally worn off and was now spinning in the compressor socket. Unfortunately the kit is out of warranty, but fortunately I was offered a discount on the necessary repair work. Oh well, at least I don't drive a Honda.
