The diagram is a bit misleading, as in the actual machine it's kind of wired up stupid in there with one lead going to a bolt on the Shuttle and the other wire frakking off up in the wire loom. If your wiring is still intact enough, it should be right around the Shuttle and the coil down there. It just looks like a small connector with 2 wires going into it on the same side and it will be flat on the end, that part of it is the diode, and the Diode can be unplugged from that connector, unless it's already missing in which case it will just be a 2 pin connector. If your wiring is a real mess, it may not even be in there anymore. There is also a couple of them in the dash as well, again provided the wiring is intact enough to still have them.

If you have the Parts manual, it should be on page 66, item #13

This is roughly what the Diode would look like, if it's still in there.
