I had the same furnace, and there's no pilot. According to the parts diagram it's electronic ignition. Are you looking for the igniter?
The one you had, may not be the same as the OPs.
Hydroflame 8012 "P" is not the same as Hydroflame II..
"P" is for Pilot..
The II is DSI..
I had a 1980s TT which had a 12K BTU Hydroflame, don't remember the exact model, but it indeed had a pilot light that had to be manually lit.

A universal Thermocouple as long as you have one with the correct electrical end fitting probably would work and if you can find one that isn't too short or too long of wire.
I would be much more concerned about the condition of the heat exchanger as you are dealing with a 40+ yr old furnace..
