Question about speaker impedance

Vintage Asylum

Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

I am in the process of restoring a 78 rpm phonograph my father built in 1950. The original amp is a hot chassis amp. I want to replace the amp with something better. The speaker is an 8 inch Jensen. There is no indication of what its impedance is. How important is matching the impedance to the amp?
