IIRC, the commercially available diodes to replace the original cutouts are Schotky (sp) clamped ones which have a lower voltage drop than a normal power diode. The above symbol  borrowed from the web is for a Schotky diode. The anode is the positive side on any diode for conventional current flow. Easier to remember that that "you can always pour positive down the funnel" might help you to connect it up the right way round -so, positive side to the dynamo on a negative earth car.
