Has anyone come up with a standard list of sensors for the rotary?  Do
   we use an oil pressure sensor from the RX7? What year?  Water temp?
   What about EGT?  Do you measure temp at the spark plug washer?  Thanks
   for any help

It depends if you are going to use is with EFI, or carb. and whether you
want any digital logging, or just normal dial gauges.

A normal EFI 3rd gen RX7 has the following:

2 crank angle sensors - to not the shaft rotation and trigger the
ignition and the measures the RPM,
water, oil and fuel thermo sensors - these are used to know whether the
engine is still cold.
MAP sensor
Throttle sensor,
Boost / pressure sensor for turbos etc.
oil pressure - just for the dial gauge - personally it is one of the
most important.

there are plenty of other senors,l eh. 1 at and  2nd shift gear
position, speedo sensor, these are installed in the gearbox which will
not be used for aerospace.
