Default What diameter is the L98 balancer?

Looking to buy either an ATI or Fluid Damper. What diameter do I need so as to not have any clearance problems? Also which one is better for my motor?

I though it was 6.75?

I used the streetdampener.
The stock one is barried in the garage somewhere. I will dig it up after I get through all this holiday stuff I have to do and measure it

I think it's 6 3/4", at least that's what size timing tape I used, that's what it measured (O.D.)
