That is an omission or error in the diagram. It would be nice if somebody with a very good condition original diode on their truck could read the numbers off of it for me. I just like to know these things.

I went out and looked at my 64 SS Impala with the A-6 compressor and it doesn't have it. It has spade connectors on it. I may order this one for it though. You got me thinking. The band on a diode always goes toward the positive side always.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
