There should be three wires for the alternator. The big heavy wire with the eyelet goes to the "BAT" or "+" terminal, the orange wire goes to the "FLD", and the white w/ black stripe goes to the "S" or "STA" terminal.
EDIT: There is also a fourth wire, but you can't see it. The mounting tab for the rubber strain relief is also a ground. If you pull the loom tape back you'll see that there are four wires going into the strain relief and only three come out.
