New one should have come with info/diagram stating what terminal is what. Shouldn't then take too long to work out how to connect it up. Try a good local auto electrician if you get stuck (good old yellow pages).

Either of the big spades is the main output and the smaller spade is for the warning light wire. But agree with previous comments, better to fit the correct unit as the fitting offsets/ pulley alignments may be different.
