Missing jib blocks on toe rail

We purchased a 1978 Sandpiper late last summer and are working toward sailing her this summer. We are missing the jib blocks that attach to toe rail. Will someone measure the sheave on theirs and pass this measurement on? We want to use what the factory decided was best for this boat. Thanks in advance, Betty & Calvin

Jib sheets are 3/8", so pretty much any medium-sized block will do.
