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, a distribution center and museum, the Russell division (which also houses the shock manufacturing center), and the exhaust plant in Torrance.
Its foundry is located in San Jacinto, California.
Founded in 1938 by Vic Edelbrock, the corporation 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 played a key role in the invention of 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 offers no direct sales for most of its catalog.
