Hi and welcome
You most likely burned up 1 or 2 fusible links, which are down buy the starter.
You need a test light or a meter, do you have them?
Here's a schematic:

Post back you progress and someone will help you.
On the schematic the fusible links are 'thermal'

Batteries are made with + and - on either end. Different vehicles may use the same size battery but require the + on one end or the other. The people who sell these things have no clue what you really need. 
With regard to what may have been damaged by reversing polarity to the car... I've never done that, so I don't really know what damage it could do. I'm thinking that the alternator would be the item that would most 'dislike' having the polarity reversed.
