stock water pump, no spacer, just pulley/fan, the fan is less than 2" from the rad, inside the shroud (stock), aftermarket mech temp gauge and factory dash gauge both read same.

Just another thing I see that will help. When using a shroud,make sure that the fan blade is half of its width inside and outside the edge of the shroud. So if you're looking at the fan from the driverside of the car, you should only be able to see 1/2 of the blade. If it is all the way inside of the shroud, it will not pull air properly and actually create a turbulance and block air flow.

that's exactly what i was looking at, does it just bolt right up??? and fit in the stock shroud?? it's the 18.25" one right?

Yes, it is the 18.25". But read what I said about how any fan being used with a shroud must fit. It is very improtant. You may have to spacer your existing fan or the new one.
