To determine the value of \( k \) for which the equation \( 8x - 6 = 3 - k + 8x \) has infinitely many solutions, we need to analyze the structure of the equation.

First, we can simplify the equation. We can start by subtracting \( 8x \) from both sides:

\[
8x - 6 - 8x = 3 - k + 8x - 8x
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
-6 = 3 - k
\]

Next, we can isolate \( k \):

\[
-6 - 3 = -k
\]
\[
-9 = -k
\]
\[
k = 9
\]

For the equation \( 8x - 6 = 3 - k + 8x \) to have infinitely many solutions, the left-hand side must be equal to the right-hand side for all \( x \). This happens when the expressions on both sides are identical for all \( x \).

Since we simplified to \( -6 = 3 - k \), this shows that if \( k = 9 \), the two sides are indeed equal, resulting in an equation that holds for all values of \( x \).

Thus, the answer is:

\[
\boxed{9}
\]
