^^ +1 on this, it's a good way to wind up kissing pavement (which unfortunately I have done - but not because of a stem). If you need it up high and are past the MIP on your stem you can pick up a Nitto Technomic, those have long risers and are fairly inexpensive. 26.0mm clamp - you might have to shim your handlebar but I don't know.
BTW, I'm also in Memphis and a member of the Hightailers Bike Club. Once you get your ride sorted out come join us one morning, we have an open social coffee ride every Sunday, easy pace. I always ride vintage and there are a couple of others who also bring their steel every now and then.
