in THE MAIN WALL

I have an older American standard boiler.

Boiler G 27 DP series 5BJ4

The gas control valve was determined to be leaking through by the gas company.
I got it off and took a picture and did a reverse image search and it came back as a Honeywell V8254A gas valve.

However the numbers on the side indicate it’s a V8243A 1019.

The issue I’m running into is the are both to old and discontinued and I’m having a hard time finding a replacement and suggestions or idea or anyone who has ran into this issue please help.

I attached images of the name plate on the boiler and the valve itself

    The gas tech would just replace it with a combination valve with the right regulator and opening characteristics and voltage. I think it is 24vac but it could be millivolt. Replacing the valve requires someone with combustion analysis equipment that knows how to use it. If it has a separate regulator the new valve would replace both.

    I am assuming this is a standard gas valve with a thermocouple and a pilot tubing>??

    Honeywell VR8300A should work I would think
