How does the D-jet and other 914 FI systems pick up the engine RPMS?
Is there a trigger/trigger wheel in the distributor or somewhere else on the engine?

I dont think it picks up the rpms at all, at least there's no trigger wheel to speak of unless it somehow picks up the signal from the distributor. I think it operates solely on manifold vacuum and engine temperatures. (I threw the D-jet out first thing I did and never paid much attention to it)
