Questions relating to designing PCBs

I am working on a task to modify Diesel engine by using spark plugs, in which I have selected hall effect sensor to sense the position in the flywheel.
The circuit needs to take feedback from the sensor, which is to be fed to Ignition coil/circuit. Can you please help me what type of circuitry is needed for ADC [Analog to digital conversion].

Wouldn't we need to know which specific hall effect sensor you intend to use? Do you have a datasheet of it? And doesn't it already contain an example reference circuit to use it? (It usually does) Also, why ADC? Isn't the passing of the magnetic dip or reversal of the field a digital occurance?
