The EDIS module has its own output for a Guage, from what I remember its the Green wire...
But it depends what input your guage takes.

In Omega's case the guage was fed from the -ve side of the coil so its expecting a 12V pulse, I think the EDIS gives out a lower voltage ECU type pulse.

Its explained a little here:

There is a special circuit for the MS so the MS gives a output for the Rev-counter... this either works straight off or needs an extra resistor from a 12v ignition supply (a pull up resistor? it might be called) ours needed this.
