wasn't Motorola fond of using two types of diodes, one with case = anode and the other with case = cathode ?
they used red paint for the part # on one style, and black paint for the other one part numbers were almost identical, too, as I recall ----- Original Message ----- From: Bob M.

Of course, finding the exact replacements could still be difficult. They're probably (minimally) 50V, 50A, but I'd look for something a bit bigger. The supply is good for 25A at 14V nominal. According to the schematic, the anodes (the ends with the arrows) are connected to the case and ground. Push-in diodes came both ways, mainly because many alternators use three of each inside, and they can only ground the case of three of them.
