Red and black will be for the light, Green should be the signal wire to the (-) side of coil? and white could be for connecting to the "flux capacitor", especially for Delorian installation.

Chris
ps. not sure about the white one, but that's how I'd start.

My guess is
Red = Battery +ve 12V
Black = earth
Green = Signal wire
White = Lighting system, so when your dash lights come on, the light in the tacho comes on

cheers

Most aftermarket tachos use the same colours so I would say:
white will be for dash lights.
Red for 12V +ve ign
black for -ve ground
And green -ve coil
