"It's with deep sadness that we announce the untimely death of our visionary and leader Vic Edelbrock Jr. Vic passed away this evening from complications following a recent cold. His passing was peaceful and in the company of his closest friends and family. The Edelbrock Fun Team sends their deepest condolences to his family and will always hold him in our hearts."
Any car enthusiast, aside from the pure restoration fanatics, most likely has owned several Edelbrock parts over the years. Personally, I have had 2 intakes, a couple sets of valve covers, and a rear suspension brace kit. What he did to help progress the performance industry is incredible. Aside from their own name parts, did you know that Edelbrock ran their own foundry? They produced a lot of parts for other manufacturers over the years too, including GM.
