Hi SC
Answering your questions, I still think there are 3 stages in the required circuit - detector, monostable, and output.
I think the Hall effect devices you found are probably pretty good, and that the power output stage in http://www.rmcybernetics.com/projects/DIY_Devices/homemade_ignition_coil_driver.htm is probably good too.
That leaves the monostable multivibrator to be designed.
But I don't think that this is a very suitable project for a first-time electronics experimenter. I think you need equipment such as a pulse generator (or at least square wave generator), a good oscilloscope, a proper power supply... you need the expertise to test and fault-find the circuits you build.
On th other hand there are manufacturers with pages like this: http://www.newtronic.co.uk/newtronic/system/index.html whose products may work pretty-much first time and are sure to be far easier.
I'd go that path unless there were really compelling reasons to design and build from scratch, because I think that there is months of work ahead of you if you take the path of designing and building a circuit for yourself.
Even if you take the option of a manufactured circuit there may still be plenty of work in getting the electronics to operate properly. Do you have anybody in your circle of friends with any expertise? I suggest a club of some kind... where people with an interest in engineering share expertise and can help one another out at the test bench.
Is there any chance of that?
