Default Cant figure out the four wires go on my alternator and which color goes where

I have a 86 400 Scarab. Took off the old alternator three years ago for the redue, Now I cant figure out where the wires or each color wires go back to on the new same alternator. I have the late Mando style style alternators.

By the way found on line for $79.00 each new.

Any help would really help out. I am ready to drop it in the water and go, this is the last thing before my first outing.
