those seem to be the common ones at summit:
7 1/4 in.
6 3/4 in.
6 in.
7 in.
8 in.
6 3/8 in.
5 1/4 in.
10 degrees on a 6.5" balancer is 0.567" length on balancer
10 degrees on a 6 3/8" is 0.556" length on balancer
that's a difference of around 0.05" at 60 degrees. i could live with that
i'd re-measure the thinng anyway. measure circumfere and divide by pi and you have dia. or use caliper if you can get it around it. order closest
best idea is always to have an adjustable timing gun where you can dial in the degrees, then you don't even need a tape, only TDC
