Default new guy with fan question

Hello, I ve decided to join after lurking on the board for awhile. Got a 66 with a stock 289 and auto. Recently I replaced the the water pump with a flow cooler, it replaced the aluminum stock pump that is shorter than the cast iron pump. I learned that after ordering the wrong one. I replaced the hoses and thermostat and all that jazz. The car has a 3 1/2 fan shroud and a five blade stock fan. My Q is that I know for the fan to operate at its' optimum efficiency it should be half in the shroud and half out. The spacer I have behind the fan is to big and the fan is too far inside the shroud, so are there different size spacers to overcome this.

Yes there are shorter spacers to bring the fan in. Try a local speed shop or Jeg's online.

You can also go to a machine shop, and they can chop your existing spacer to any length you wish is about a nano second. Then go to the hardware store and buy the appropriate length bolts with the right threads. See, there is more than one way to skin a cat, huh?
