i have an older reliance that I wood like to convert from ng to lp. The valve is no longer available but I find it hard to believe that there isn’t another company out there that makes a retrofit/replacement for the obsolete Honeywell Valve. Any input would be appreciated. It is a natural vent (b vent) stove.

Thanks, Craig
 
You may have to replace the ENTIRE valve with an LP Regulator Head, along with the pilot orifice & burner orifice.
Search thru recent posts on the Gas Forum. Somebody replaced the valve in a VC Gas Unit recently.
