Yes that does help Jim.

Ironically I found the parts looked the same (see my other post). They
are swapped. Currently testing on AC. But, your info helps as I know
the later models use electronic sparker etc., so wasn't sure where the
change to thermostat would have been. Helps to clarify info I posted.

Thank you for taking time to look up the parts.

Neil.
