MSD ASY16719 Flying Magnet Crank Trigger Kit 6.25 in. Red Anodized Aluminum Wheel

The MSD ASY16719 Flying Magnet Crank Trigger delivers rock-solid ignition timing for high-horsepower performance engines where precision is critical. In extreme builds with elevated cylinder pressures, even minor timing inconsistencies can cost power or damage an engine. Traditional distributor-based triggering introduces timing error through the mechanical flex and stretch of timing chains, gears, and cam components. By reading timing directly off the crankshaft — the most positionally stable component in the engine — this crank trigger system eliminates those variables entirely.

Flying Magnet Design Prevents False Triggering:

• Unlike conventional crank triggers that use steel studs and a stationary magnetic pickup, MSD's design embeds powerful rare-earth magnets directly into the trigger wheel
• The non-magnetic pickup can only be activated by a passing magnet — track debris, vibration, and stray bolts cannot create a false trigger signal
• Each rare-earth magnet is pressed and riveted into the wheel to withstand extreme RPM and vibration loads

Precision-Machined Trigger Wheel:

• 6.25 in. diameter trigger wheel machined from 6061-T6 aluminum
• Red anodized finish for corrosion resistance and MSD's signature look
• CNC-machined aluminum mounting brackets with long adjustment slots for a wide range of accurate timing adjustments
• Many brackets are compatible with mounting on either side of the balancer for installation flexibility
• Includes spacers to accommodate different accessory drive and pulley configurations

What's Included:

• Flying magnet trigger wheel (6.25 in., red anodized aluminum)
• Non-magnetic pickup
• CNC-machined aluminum mounting brackets
• Centering ring
• Mounting hardware and spacers

Important Notes:

• Must be used with an MSD Ignition Control
• Requires a locked-out distributor when used with a crank trigger system

The MSD Flying Magnet Crank Trigger is engineered for serious performance applications where accurate, repeatable ignition timing is non-negotiable — from bracket racing to all-out competition builds.
