Growing up, the Edlbrock intakes were THE intake to have. RIP Vic Jr.

I put a lot of money in his bank account when I was a teenager.
RIP.

Sad to hear that.

Yes, I used a lot of his stuff back in the day.

Does this mean the lifetime warranty on my shocks has expired? Okay, I had one front shock fail at 12 years so replaced both fronts with some generic gas shock. Still have the Edelbrocks on the back.

Currently running the Performer intake and marine carb on the boat. Easy to install/set up, has worked like a charm for the past 3+ years. It won't likely be the last time I choose Edelbrock for engine parts.

Sad to hear. Household name for sure. Can't say a bad thing about edelbrock parts. Still really popular for aftermarket and racing today.

Vic propelled many of us forward at high speeds on our way to get laid.

Thanks for the memories Vic!
