Green should be ground. Red should be for the lamp, and white for power to the needle. To make sure just ground it first, and then put 12 volts to the red. If the lamp lights up then it gets connected with the dash lamps. The white will then go to the negative side of the coil. Let us know how it goes.

Ok that sounds better. Now I'd say black to ground. Red to ignition. (hot only when ignition is on, check with meter or light) Green to negative side of the coil. White to dash lamps. You may want to try contacting the manufacture, but these things are somewhat standard. Always connect ground first.
