for pre-90 you need two spacers b/c the pivot ball seating needs raised. Both spacers need to be equal thickness.
Kooch's method would work just as well but doesn't give you 'as much' choice on "how much reduction" in throw. Where the spacers let you choose from 0.25"-1"(16-45%).
Instead of using solid rod, try to find pipe. It will cut back on the machine time. You'll just have to throw it on the lathe and slice it like bread (total 1-2hrs w/ drilling). I have enough pipe to make ~5 spacers, willing to donate it if you'll machine the other 4 and send back. Otherwise I was just going to have it done by a local machinist when I go to get this other block cleaned.
I used a 0.75" spacer and think this is just right and sometimes too short. I've used it for the last two years, no prob. Just make sure you use long enough bolts and some loctite.
