I see that the pins seem to be properly orientated on this one. <http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Vishay/26MB10A/?qs=MYVaeE1wThILGd3INl66NQ%3d%3d>
I woodier if it would work without twisting?

Comparing to the "replacements" sitting on my desk, I think you would have to twist ALL FOUR pins to make it work. (I might be wrong though... end of a long shift.)
My eBay cheapo "replacements" have three pins that need twisted to match the Onan. Three of the four pins on the linked one match the untwisted pins of my replacements.
