I agree that 8 uF is an extremely large value for a "paper cap", which are generally under 1 uF. Are you sure you aren't talking about an electrolytic?
Electrolytic caps generally have a VERY wide tolerance anyway (like -20%/+100%), so substituting the closest modern value is almost always acceptable.
8 uF was once a standard value but not anymore. Unless in a critical circuit, a 10 uF replacement would be just fine.
