That should work, I would think getting the right specs on the thermocouple would be more critical.
Clicky for the above link.
Thermocouples are pretty ubiquitous.. Output typically 750mv.
Problem you might run into is too long or too short of wire and possible different mounting configurations.
Typically you should be able to buy a thermocouple replacement kit, the kit contains several mounting adapters which should handle issues you may encounter with mounting the Thermocouple properly.
For lengths too long, OP will need to gently roll the excess wire up outside the burner chamber.
Typically available in 18", 24" and 36" lengths.
The only concern I have is if the gas valve they have on the furnace uses a non standard electrical connector size or configuration..
I did find a complete universal thermocouple AND pilot tubing assembly kit HERE for $19..
The length is 24" so if it is too long, OP will need to roll not only the thermocouple wire in a roll but the pilot tubing also. Not sure if that will be a issue for the pilot tubing or not, just don't want to kink the tubing so care needs to be taken.
