what model economite you have. There was another model that didn't use a conventional gas valve. The gas valve was operated by a centrifugal mechanism in the blower, no electricity. To light the pilot you will see a small metal toggle switch on the side of the control box, it's spring loaded in the off position. When you hold the switch down you energize a small coil of nicrome wire that is next to the pilot.
