SOURCE: I have a Montgomery Ward

From your question hard to tell, if its gas, the temp control should be on the gas regulator knob.
If its electric the stats are under the two metal covers and there is usually a plastic protector over the elect. connections and the adjustment knob will be thru a hole in that plastic cover. New electric heaters have a fixed factory set temp that the Gov. has set for us to keep us safe. Hope this helps.

Montgomery Ward Water Heater model SRM-3330505 water water in showers only stays hot 5-10 minutes

That is one old heater. If it is electric the top element may be bad, or most probable is the tank is full of sediment which you or may not be able to drain. Personally I would not spend any or time on a old water heater. It sis very inefficient lose heat since the tnpk has minimal insulation which cost you money for more energy to reheat it.

Just need to know how to light the pilot on a Montgomery Ward wall furnace model sfb-50219

I can't speak to the specific model but with most pilot lights, there is a switch setting or button for lighting. If you release that switch or button too soon, the pilot will not remain light. Hold the switch or button ON while you light the pilot. Keep holding the switch or button for about a minute until the heat sensor is sufficiently warmed that the pilot light stays on. Good luck.

Pilot light won't stay lite is thermocouple bad?

Maybe, or maybe the FV system tripped.

http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-test-water-heater-thermocouple.html

If you have error-code type gas control, then you have thermophile and not thermocouple
Troubleshoot by type of gas control valve:

Reliance 606 Hot water Heating element (Pilot light) won't stay lit

Gas water heaters don't have elements, so I am confused about what type water heater you have..
Look on the side of tank for the label.
Find the brand, and type. Does it show BTUs? Or does it show wattage?
Then re-post question with this information, for best possible answer.
Also post question on Tank forum.

The pilot wont stay lite on the furance i already change the thermcoupler model # is srm-54815b montgomery ward

The flame must hit the tip of the thermocouple to get a good contact with the coopernickel bimetal.
Remove the new thermocouple and use a pencil eraser to clean out the hole. Get all the corrosion off there.

The heater will not stay burning

Depending on it's age, it's probably the Thermocouple going bad. Or you may have an insect nest inside the screen housing, around the pilot assembly, that needs to be removed. If you need to replace the thermocouple, I suspect the heater was manufactured for Montgomery Ward by Uniflame or Blue Rhino. Either should fit your heater.
