The Ford Barn

I'm restoring my Dad's old 32 BB truck. I'm replacing the old wiring harness now (which was badly damaged, and cut up). The new harness is just about all in, and a partial schematic shows me which wires to hook to the + and - of the amp meter, but there is NOTHING marking which post is which on the back of the meter. Is there a quick and dirty way to identify them correctly???? (like if I'm looking at the BACK of the meter, which is which???) I'd guess the + is on the LEFT. Also, does it matter about polarity on the 6V coil? It's not marked either.
