If it were me, I'd not worry about the correct crank as much as achieving the type of gearing you might need for the riding conditions in your area. So if you need extra hill climbing gears, now would be the time to add a triple. If not, go for a nice Campy, Sugino, or Dura Ace crankset from the late '70s era. Has your Aunt told you how she ended up with that crank on that bike? It looks very simular to the original one that came on my '79 Schwinn Traveler.
Best of luck with your Superior.
When I inherited it from my aunts estate, it didn't have a crank at all. Nobody has any idea as to where the original crank went. The current crank in the picture is one that a nephew gave me until I find one that I need.
