Snyders was selling them a year or so ago.

I have one that does not work and is sealed in plastic, so I cannot repair it.

Many of Bittner's TrueFire system got a bad rap because you had to have a good battery and the correct 1/0 or 0 Gauge Battery cables to get 5 volts or a little more at the starter terminal while cranking.

The heart of the system was a 12 Volt Ford coil set and the box had a voltage doubler inside to turn 6 volts into 12 volts.

The TrueFire coils needed about 11.5 Volts to properly operate.

You did not really need that voltage regulator at all.
