stem raiser

I am looking for a stem raiser for an older road bike with a threaded
headset. Not sure what to measure to get it the right size (inside or
outside dimensions etc). Here is a link to what I am looking at.http://www.sheldonbrown.com/harris/stems/index.html
 Does someone have a used one? I got a cheap used road bike and fits
great except I need to raise handlebars more than it allows. Thanks

Called a quill adapter. Goes where you quill stem goes now, with the
ability to clamp a threadless stem onto it. Like part SM 248 on the
Sheldon site. 22.2mm quill(thing that goes into the fork), ability to
clamp any 1 1/8inch threadless stem onto it. Last thing is to make
sure the handblebar clamp of the stem matches the handlebar diameter.

No, the OP is talking about a stem raiser - a threaded to threaded
quill extender.

It is very likely a 1" standard. One inch is the _outside_ diameter
of the steering tube. The inside diameter is (IIRC) 22.2 mm, and
would be the thickness of the stem. Measure you current stem with a
calipers, or use a paper tape, measure, and divide by pi. If it's
around 22mm's order the 1" standard.

I know I know--a link was already given, here's another with an option
to buy:

But for a quill, it's such an inelegant solution compared to a taller
stem. With a threadless, often the Delta bugger is the only solution--
and it's not half bad at all.

At Taipei Bike I saw three different adjustable height threadless stems,
but I don't think any are sold in the U.S..

You keep asserting that.
For the third time, please look at some new bikes on any LBS showroom.
They are neither rare nor expensive.

Here's another example:
