Ken, depends on what brand it is. Jamison Equipment refurbishes and sells Sioux and Van Norman units.

Mine is a Van Dorn and probably WWII vantage. I don't think anyone is going to have parts for it when it finally takes a dump.....this is a pic of the model that I have. I already had to replace the electric motor on the back of it. Had to make a custom bracket for it. Making parts may be the last option for some of these older models as parts are difficult if not near impossible to find these days...

I would like to help you if possible. Could you post specifically what is wrong with the valve grinder. We have many, many small machine shops going out of business all over this part of the country. I have seen more than 1 B&D valve grinder go directly to the scrap yard along with some ancient Souix machines. And you can still get some parts for them. Biggest issue with the old machines is the valve stem runnout from old worn out chucks. Even on our old collet chuck machine, we have to dial indicate every stem before we can grind. Again, happy to help if I can.

Thanks for the help.
There are no broken parts on the machine. I took it apart because there was no oil flow to the valve. I found out when I got in there, it had a simple slinger type pump. I could have blown air into the nozzle and cleared it. Now it's a true basket case. I was hoping to find a repair shop to put the thing back together, only if the runout on the chuck could be zeroed. It's a three jaw chuck , not like the newer ball chuck.

I have two old Sioux machines and the runout on the chuck is a problem on them.

Goodson sells a replacement chuck collet for the Black & Decker. I believe the price is around $229. I replaced the chucks on both of my Kwik Way valve grinders with Lacey Williams chucks. Both produce run out of .0003. Well worth the cost.

Ken, not sure if this video would inspire you to tackle it yourself but if nothing else, I thought it was pretty entertaining.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
