How fast should I be going on the elliptical (in rpms ) to equal a 7:30 mile pace?

Forget pace... Just get your heart rate up in a similar zone as to your running.
but i dont know my running hr...i have never calculated it
Take 220 minus your age for rough max hr and 85% +or- of that.
depends on the machine and resistance, but up around 200 with medium resistance worked pretty well for me. just be careful because the elliptical makes it feel like you're working harder than you actually are.
I agree with sandyvag. Try to shoot for about 200 and set the resistence so it takes a little work to keep the pace.
