Why is my replacement balancer bigger

Depends on application . I just replaced one , and had to take off the factory timing tab , and use a new one to match the balancer .
Look at replacements on summit or jegs , they list a couple sizes so you can match what you have .

Just measure your old one , and get a new one that size . Its not hard at all . Call a speed shop , or engine builder , or look online .
Most parts stores are good for the stuff we need a lot , like spark plugs , bearings ,brakes etc . But I would not buy engine internals , carbs , balancers , or any stuff like that there .
BTW , there are several sizes available I can rattle off , 6.25 , 6.75 , 7 ( not common ) , and 8 inch .
And there is internal , and external balanced . Yours is the first type if its stock .

we've been over it before, pretty certain all Single piece rear main motors are externally balanced. If thats correct, just replacing the balancer could be a bad choice. I mean it could run forever or vibrate like mad and wear out bearings in a week.
The original balancer is a 6" and the replacement is a 8" they are both internally balanced. The 8" fits ok and does not affect the timing pointer. all is well. I was told as long as both balancers are internal balancers it will work.
