If you were very lucky,and had the ignition switch off when you reverse connected the booster cables,then the ignition system may be OK. The pegged amp guage and the smoke under the hood may be a burned up amp guage. If the guage burned off the internal shunt quickly,it may not have damaged the rectifier unit in the alternator. You also need to carefully inspect the heavy wire from the alternators BAT terminal to the amp guage for melted/burned insulation. There should be another heavy wire from the other amp guage terminal connected to the battery,usually connected where the battery cable connects to the starter switch. That 8N amp guage is not designed to flow many amps,and hopefully was the weak link in the system,hope it burned out before doing major damage to the wiring harness and alternator.
