Big D is right, You adjust the voltage control relay( the one with small wire windings and the NC contacts) by bending the spring arm or adjusting screw to put more tension on the spring. The problem is that this is a very touchy adjustment, almost a lost art. The adjustment will change with the temperature of the regulator and if or not you have the cover on the regulator.To charge an 8V battery you need to set the regulator to 9--9 1/2V , This much voltage on a system designed for 7-1/4 volts is very hard on the generator, ign points and lights, all for not much gain in cranking power. You are much better off with a 4 pole starter and 6V or a 12V conversion. Use a lot of care and an accurate volt meter to adjust the regulator, if you get it set too high you will cook your electrical system very fast. Use care when installing or removing the regulator cover, if you short the cover or mounting screws to the relays you will ruin the regulator in an instant.Been there,done that ;-(
