toyota, GM ecu, waste spark, Kalmaker

Hi guys
I have a project that I need some help on. I have a Toyota 3SGE motor (4
cyl) in my club man 7 I am building. I have Kalmaker software from
Australia and a 16183082 ECU (it says 808 on the case but it has the high
speed chip). The car has separate throttle bodies one per cylinder. (made
in USA)
I need to interface the Toyota Distributor with the ECU or perhaps fit a
waste spark system. The Toyota dis uses 24 tooth crank angle sensor, 2 TDC
sensors (reluctor type) 
1) I have built a hall effect sensor to fit to the front pulley of the
engine with two sensors for a waste spark system. 
What I need now is a circuit to take these pulse and give them to the GM
ECU and gate the return EST to fire the correct coil. Of all the GM
ignition modules produced is there a version for a 4 cyl waste spark system
that fits between the 4 wire of the GM ECU and hall effect sensors?
2) I could grind the lobes from the crank sensor and produce 4 pulse as per
standard arrangement and use the 2 TDC markers to gate a 4 coil set up. Are
there any web sites that can give me a few clues as to the types of
circuits for the above two methods. My programming skills are very limited
so I dismissed this approach once I found my STAMP was to slow to count the
24 pulses per rev when the dis was rotated by my electric drill at 2500 rpm!
Any advice or help would be gratefully receive. This is my first posting
sorry for the length.
