HOW IT ALL BEGAN
Vic Edelbrock Sr. was born in a small farming community near Wichita, Kansas, in 1913. His father supported the family comfortably as the local grocery store owner. When the store burned down in 1927, Vic left school at age 14 to help support the family. With a natural talent for mechanics, his first job was at an auto repair shop, where he developed his skills as an auto mechanic. When the Great Depression hit Kansas, the young Vic Edelbrock looked to the prosperous West for a new home.
CALIFORNIA... A FRESH START
In 1931, Vic migrated to California to live with his brother. Here, he met Katie, who became his wife in 1933. With his new brother-in-law, Vic opened his first repair shop on Wilshire Boulevard in Beverly Hills. The business flourished, and in 1934, he moved into his own shop on the corner of Venice and Hoover in Los Angeles. Bobby Meeks retired in 1993, becoming his loyal assistant. Several important events occurred between 1934 and the start of the war. Vic Sr.'s reputation as an expert mechanic helped his business grow, and he moved his shop three times. Vic and Katie's only child, Vic Jr., was born in 1936. In 1938, Vic Sr. bought his first project car — a 1932 Ford Roadster — which was a turning point in Edelbrock history. It was Vic Sr.'s entry into the world of "hot rods," inspiring the design and manufacture of the first Edelbrock intake manifold.
THE SLINGSHOT MANIFOLD
When Vic bought the roadster, he joined Tommy Thickstun in designing the "Thickstun" manifold for the Flathead. Vic wasn't happy with the performance, so he created his aluminum intake manifold. It was called the "Slingshot". The Slingshot was a 180° manifold for a Ford flathead using two Stromberg 97 carburetors. This was the first product to feature the famous "EDELBROCK" name. Before the war, Vic produced about 100 of these Flathead Ford manifolds. Vic raced and tested his new manifold on his 1932 Ford at Muroc Dry Lake, 80 miles northeast of Los Angeles (where Edwards Air Force base is today). He became a consistent winner with his modified roadster at racing speeds of 112 mph. Vic would drive the Ford to the dry lakes, remove the fenders and the windshield, then race the car. At the end of the races, he would re-install the fenders and the windshield and drive it home.
TESTING DELIVERS RESULTS
The roadster became an essential part of Vic's product development. He would install his parts on the roadster to determine how well they performed. One of Vic's ideas was modified factory cast-iron "Denver" cylinder heads, incorporating a unique high-altitude design featuring higher compression. Vic filled and milled the head for a further increase in compression, gaining even more power. Meanwhile, he received multiple requests for his twin carb manifold. This was the driving force behind the opening of his own performance parts business. Three weeks before Pearl Harbor and the start of World War II, Vic was clocked at 121.42 mph in his '32 at Rosamond Dry Lake. During the war, Vic shelved his racing activities and used his machinist skills for the war effort. Vic's wartime experiences increased his perception of what he could build with the right machining tools.
MIDGET RACING... A SUCCESS STORY
The third midget he purchased became a part of racing history. The 7th Kurtis Kraft midget was purchased later that year. With Bobby Meeks as head wrench, they toured Southern California tracks, racing up to six nights a week. Vic's winning team included such greats as Perry Grimm, Walt Faulkner, Billy Vukovich, and Rodger Ward. Vic was now known for fast flathead Fords and race-winning midgets. History was made when Vic's V8-60-equipped midget broke the winning streak of the Offy-equipped midgets. With Rodger Ward at the wheel and nitromethane in the fuel, #27 beat the Offys in the first and only V8-60 win at the famous Gilmore Stadium. Vic was the first to use nitromethane as a fuel. Needless to say, his competitors had no idea what that strange smell and color was coming from the exhaust.
FIRST ENGINE DYNAMOMETER
With a solid business developing, Vic bought one of the performance industry's first engine dynos in 1948. With this 200 HP Clayton dyno, he could get actual data to gauge the effectiveness of his products. This dyno allowed Vic to prove that his designs won races and made measurable performance gains. By then, Edelbrock Sr.'s equipment was on almost every winning car on the dry lakes and the midget tracks.
A GREAT CREW
Vic Sr. left behind a great team of very talented people. Bobby Meeks, Don Towle, and Robert Bradford were on hand to assist Vic Jr. in continuing his father's dream. In 1964, a good friend named Bob Joehnck saw an opportunity to develop an intake for a small-block Chevy. The C-4B manifold was another turning point for the Edelbrock Equipment Company. The "golden age of the 1960s and 1970s" brought about the Tunnel Ram, Tarantula, and Streetmaster manifolds. From 1971-1974, he served as President of the Specialty Equipment Marketing Association (SEMA), educating about the benefits of a strong & legal performance parts industry. In the '80s and '90s, Edelbrock moved into a more diverse product line with carbs, cam kits, valvetrain parts, exhausts, engine accessories, fuel system parts, heads, and more.
