Edelbrock LLC is a manufacturer of specialty performance automotive and motorcycle aftermarket parts based in Torrance, California.
The company has five locations, including its headquarters in Torrance, a distribution center, a museum, the Russell division (which also houses the shock manufacturing center), and the exhaust plant.
Its foundry is located in San Jacinto, California.
Vic Edelbrock founded the corporation in 1938 when his desire to increase the performance of his 1932 Ford Roadster led him to design a new intake manifold.
Friends and fellow drivers soon wanted one as well, transforming his repair garage into a parts manufacturing enterprise that made one-of-a-kind equipment for automobiles.
In many ways, Vic Edelbrock helped to invent the automotive aftermarket parts industry.
Today, Edelbrock manufactures over 8,000 automotive parts for racers and hobbyists, focusing on increased performance.
The company relies on online and catalog resellers and thus offers no direct sales for the bulk of its catalog.
