Steve,
Just ran accross this thread, again, during a search ... hopefully you haven't given up on the repair and thrown out the two dead Speed Switch units!!!
The schematic I posted on other threads is the same for all of the 1969 and later Speed Switches [aka RPM Transducer/Speed Relay] regardless of the application on carbed or MFI engines ... just the values of C4, R5, and R6 changed!
D7 and D8 [your device #1] are both protection devices or surge suppressors of the MOV, SIDACtor or bidirectional Transzorb type ... here are a couple of comprehensive databooks that can be downloaded:

Even though I don't have a part number or specs for D7 or D8 [haven't put one on a curve tracer, yet] ... it is safe to say that around 15 - 16 Volts is the effective range they need to be in to protect the 16 Volt capacitors from blowing up when transients occur with a failing alternator!
Your device #2 is T2, a Siemens BCY45-IX transistor, no longer available, except for NOS parts (new old stock) that can be replaced by a 2N2222A transistor [selected for hFe > 200] or 2N5088 transistor.
