For the Dive Bomber...
Larry,
Diodes are rectifiers consisting of a semi-conductor crystal material... they convert alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC). Your airplane only uses DC, unless it has an inverter for supplying AC voltage to the electroluminescent panel, if so equipped.
There are different diodes for different things... and your 1969 bird is a whole lot different than my 77 P-model, so I won't go there. Maybe look into your Parts & Service Manual for the electrical stuff would be a good place to start.
