Silly question... What's a Hall sensor? The little magnetic doohickey 
in the distro?

Once I get a second in some daylight, I'm gonna go digging around in 
the fuse box to make sure #15 is getting power.

Now, the power that the coil gets is constant, or is it pulsed? I was 
under the impression that it is pulsed. And if so, what pulses it?

And if my car doesn't have a computer, what exactly is that happy 
little unit next to the wiper motor?
