There isn't a black connection on the alternator? That would be the correct side. If not, you could almost connect it to the bolt that holds down the alternator to the frame of the car. Check with someone else to be sure, but the negative side or connection is the common or ground wire. Just avoid hooking it to red.

How do you connect the alternator positive and negative wire to starer?

You do not connect any wire from the alternator to the starter. The positive wire from the alternator should run to the positive on the battery, and the negative wire (if equipped) should run to the engine block (or any suitable ground). Most alternators are already grounded by the bolts holding them to the engine, but some do have a negative wire.
