    CUCV Switches, Diodes, Relays

    In all fairness, the radio shack number isn't a "spec" its only their catalog number. The Term(s) to search google for is "1N5404" or "3 AMP General Purpose Diode". As long as its at LEAST a 3 amp or GREATER Diode then your fine. You can order them by the bushel from Digikey, and they are...

    shelter-mounted radio sets - TRC, MRC, GRC, or VRC?

    There is logic behind the numbering, although its often hard to see why certain things are classified the way they are. I researched this some time ago and published an overview, there are some docs on it around.. http://radionerds.com/index.php/Radio_Numbering_Specification

    Fuel issue, idle's fine but dies when you give it throttle

    its a fuel volume issue from a restriction of some type. I would check the returns, fuel filters including the sock in the tank as mentioned. If you've done any work lately make sure you didnt kink any lines.
