Edelbrock is a leading performance auto parts manufacturer based in California. Founded in 1938 by the entrepreneur Vic Edelbrock, the company quickly developed a reputation for flexibility and creative problem solving. Vic Edelbrock assisted early dragsters in their quests for fast speed and helped a Ford Roadster top out at 121 m.p.h. back before World War II.

In 1946, Edelbrock's company released a full-spectrum catalog which took the automotive performance world by storm. When the founder died, he left the business to his very capable son, Vic Edelbrock, Jr., who built the company up even further. Today, Edelbrock employs more than 600 people and takes in over than $100 million every year.

The company manufactures quality components via a strictly controlled engineering process. The dyno technicians constantly experiment with advanced engine configurations, and PhDs and researchers collaborate with 'in the field' specialists to deliver consistently stellar results. In addition to servicing the professional race car market, Edelbrock also retails to consumers of high performance parts.

Amateur mechanics often upgrade from standard manufactured gear to Edelbrock components. If you upgrade, be sure to authenticate your parts. 'Copycat' performance part marketers abound, and it can be difficult for the untrained home mechanic to tell Edelbrock originals apart from imitators. Make sure to get warranties for any new or used Edelbrock parts you purchase.
