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: its headquarters, a distribution center and 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 company in 1938.
His desire to increase the performance of his 1932 Ford Roadster led him to design a new intake manifold, and soon friends and fellow drivers wanted one as well.
This transformed his repair garage into a parts manufacturing enterprise, creating 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 performance.
The company relies on online and catalog resellers and thus offers no direct sales for the bulk of its catalog.
