I recently tried using a Suntour New Winner 7spd freewheel (13-28) with my Nuovo Record rear
derailleur. Doesn't work, upper pulley wheel is too close to the 28t cog. This same freewheel
worked just fine with the Super Record derailleur that was previously installed. Is the a capacity
tooth difference between Nuovo and Super? Is there another Campy rear derailleur from the same era
(80's) that will work with this 28t cog. The newer rears have a higher tooth capacity, will the
work ok? Or will the # of teeth in the pulley wheels creat a problem (if the are different)?

Buy yourself an inexpensive ($20) Shimano derailer and it'll shift better than that NR ever did.

The Rally was one from the 1970s & 80s, would not look out of place on a Nuovo Record bike.

Yes newer ones will work more than "ok" - they will shift vastly better than the old stuff, even
fairly cheap ones like Veloce.
