Where is the Hall effect sensor in a 1996 ford f150 4.9 l engine?

The 1996 Ford F-150 4.9L engine doesn't use a Hall effect sensor in the same way many later vehicles do for crankshaft or camshaft position sensing. Instead, it utilizes a Distributor with a magnetic pickup. This pickup generates a signal based on the rotation of the distributor, which is then used for ignition timing. While technically using a magnetic principle similar to a Hall effect sensor, it's not a discrete Hall effect sensor as a separate component. The entire magnetic pickup assembly is *within* the distributor.
