the oven igniter would glow but the gas wouldn't turn on

After removing the oven door, floor, and gas-jet diffuser plate, I could see the valve. There was a shield ov er the elec connections, which I removed. I turned off the gas line to the oven and elec power from the wall, then disconnected the valve. The orig valve had a mounting bracket which I swapped to the new valve( the holes lined up perfectly). I bolted everything back in place, turned it on, and the oven fired right up. I was afraid an appliance this old (1984) would no longer have any parts-availability. but PartSelect came through!
