I, along with probably most other people my age, habitually associate the brand name of Delco (Delco Electronics, technically) with General Motors (GM) electrical and electronic products such as radios, storage batteries, alternators, and spark plugs. Dayton Engineering Laboratories Co., of Dayton, Ohio, merged with GM's AC spark plug division in 1974 to become AC-Delco. I bought many sets of AC-Delco spark plugs for my cars over the years. Nowadays, GM's electronic products go by the name of ACDelco (no hyphen now). Attempting to research the full provenance of the modern-day AC-Delco is headache-inducing due to sell-offs to Delphi, Aptiv, and other entities. The best I can determine is that the contemporary ACDelco is a brand name for products that might be manufactured by many different companies. This advertisement searching for electrical and mechanical engineers from a 1964 issue of Electronics magazine appeared during Delco's glory years.
