Conversion of standing pilot to electronic ignition on old boile

First thanks to Dan I have learned more about steam systems than some of the pros from your books.I hav 1970 Kewanne boiler, I have had it retubed and don't hav $ for a new unit
I would lik to get rid of the standing pilot & replace it with a Ignition transformer & elec.spark ignitor.Every pro has told me it's not made.Tell me their wrong.The main to the gas valve is 1 1/4 honeywell V48a.If there is a pro in chicago that can do this email me.

Why would you want

to convert it over to EI? It is very possible with that V48 application you are running at pretty high BTU input so I would not suggest doing that conversion as you may be asking for problems with good flame proving. The alternative would be a Flame Safeguard Commercial application which would be very costly and would need boiler company approval for such a design change.

You're about to bite off a chunk of liability that your homeowners insurance probably won't approve should there be an issue...
