Measuring actual voltage at the starter and at the distributer while cranking is the place to start. Probably isn't one in 50 licensed mechanics however really knows how to use a multimeter. Too many time to count I've put a voltmeter on equipment that won't start after the owner has been guessing and throwing parts are it.

Low voltage on the coil supply is what prevents starting. 8V or 12V is just putting a bandage on the symptoms instead of solving the problem.

Better to go 12V and keep working lights than monkeying with 8V.
