It won't do any harm if you don't get them right first go.
Just hook it up and start it ... if the alt light goes outy you got it right.
If the light doesn't go out then swap the two wires around.
On mine the black wire with white trace hooks onto the pin closest to the main power wire.

one is ig+, and pulls in the alternator. the other is normally marked L and does to the charge light.
