You could try fitting the rev counter from a efi escort/orion.

In an EFi setup the Rev counter needs its feed combined from both coils (not one coil as it does with a dizzy) hence half the revs.

You can either try and find an EFi rev counter as suggested by studabear or you can add the following circuit:

It's a very simple cheap circuit made of 3 diodes. I added this to mine right down near the EDIS and attached it to the original green rev counter wire with a bullet connector in the original location.

Edited as it read badly...
