The rationale behind the 8 volt coil as I understand it is that it only has 12 volts applied whilst the engine is cranking on the starter. They are normally used with a key ignition that has OFF, RUN & START positions. In the start position the resistor is bypassed, in the run position the coil only gets 8 volts. Applying 12 volts full time may do it no good at all.
