Edelbrock, LLC is a manufacturer of specialty performance automotive and motorcycle aftermarket parts based in Torrance, California.
The corporation has five locations, including four in Torrance: a distribution center and museum, its headquarters, the Russell division (which also houses the shock manufacturing center), and the exhaust plant.
Its foundry is located in San Jacinto, California.
Founded in 1938 by Vic Edelbrock, the company began when his desire to enhance 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 created unique 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 performance enhancement.
The company relies on online and catalog resellers and thus offers no direct sales for the majority of its catalog.
