Never had a problem after adjusting the voltage regulator. Never had any lights, so the 8 volts didn't matter. I did have problems burning the points prematurely with 8 volts. Installed a Chrysler ballast resistor and that fixed the short life problem. For starting you can by-pass the resistor and switch it back in for running. Ken McWilliams
