How do I modify automotive jumper cables to safely jump andan 8 volt system with a 12 volt car battery?

I have an antique truck using an 8 volt battery conversion from its original 6 volt because the starter turned too slowly to crank it. This protected the instruments from damage. If itI need to jump off this 8 volt truck with a 12 volt modern car, what resistor do I need to achieve this.? I'm not an engineer, so what am I missing here? The conversion made a huge improvement in operation of this antique truck.
