Stock fbody is 6.75. If it's from a truck or something like that then 8. Timing tab is where the biggest problem will be.

There are several. Anywhere from 6¾" to 8". Earlier ones tend to be larger, the ones that came in our cars are smaller.

What are we REALLY asking? What do you ACTUALLY need help with?

Re: What diameter is a stock harmonic balancer on a 350

I'm setting it up for nitrous , I need 12 deg initial timing and 31 deg total timing for a 75 shot. But the distributor must be a low advance distributor. I'm at 16 deg initial timing and and the total timing is about 26. any more initial timing and I will wear out my starter real quick. The diameter is so I can make a deg tape for the balancer.

If that's all you need, a tape measure will tell you what you need to know.
