I'm afraid you've got it backwards. 16mm will not do
well in yr 8mm cameras. The gears/claws will reach for
a sprocket hole that isn't there. You film will not
register properly. Assuming this is not what you want,
you need to get some 8mm film.

Try this guy:

You didn't say where you are. In San Francisco you can
walk into Action Camera and buy Schwind's film over
the counter.
