packard1984, I have a Model A Roadster Hot Rod with a 283 Chevy V-8. It is equipped with an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor (manual choke). I noticed that cast into the side of the carb is "Weber". Did Edlebrock buy Weber, or are they making the carbs under license, or is Weber making the carbs for Edelbrock? Thanks.

That is a very good question. As far as I know Weber casts the bodies for Edelbrock kinda like outsourcing but the two companies are each their own entities.

Not that uncommon in the automotive world, there are some edelbrock q-jets out there still even though they make carter clone carbs (q-jet rpms) that they did for a bit (remans i think, but solid carbs from reports).
and then carter actually cast some q-jets for rochester, despite being a competitor. Rather than some kind of reman job, they actually made them for them to legit q-jet specs, no special parts or differences: "Q. Why Does my Rochester Quadrajet say Carter on It ? A. Carter Manufactured a few Quadrajets over the years for Rochester they are still Rochester carbs and for getting parts you should look them up as Rochesters"
