You fool :)

you should have written the wire colours on the side of the tank with a sharpie. Took me a few times of confusion before I figured out to do that :)

on my '82 vintage tank, it goes as follows:

-black to the bottom, outboard stud
-white to the bottom stud
-yellow to the middle stud
- and a double green at the top stud

The drain cap - not so sure about replacement. I think some say a standard garden hose thread works, others have noted that the rear wiper reservoir cap might fit (really unsure about that one, haven't tried it)

good luck
