Is there a difference in a original ta or aar 6 pac compared to a after market edelbrock. I was told one has chrys part number other does not. if so is original worth more?
 
Sometimes after market six packs have mechanical linkages for the outboard carbs. An original six packs have vacuum diaphragms to open up the outboard carbs.
 
As far as I know edelbrock doesn't make the intake, mopar performance is casting them from edelbrock design. They say mopar on them and are a bit heavy compared to the originals. Originals are around $350 to $450 the mopar ones are $250ish. Performace is about the same. I think all the original t/a aar ones had the part number but back then you could get a over the counter edelbrock from a speed shop without the number.
 
Actually, Ed DID make the 69 1/2 440 6bbl intakes, I don't know the history of the T/A / AAR smallblocks

Actually Buddy bar casts the mopar one. Eddy I believe cast some originals and also farmed out a lot to Buddy Bar, the original BB 6 packs were eddy and when they could not keep up Chrysler cast then from cast iron. But I don't think the OP needed that much info
