What size is an 89 5.7 balancer??

I have a motor from an 89 Trans Am, 5.7 L TPI. I was just wondering what size the harmonic balancer is so I know what timing tape to buy. Thanks in advance.

An 87 5.7L TPI engine I have out back has the smaller 6-3/4" balancer on it. Don't know if they used a different size in 89.
