I am looking into replacing my 6 speed 13/24 free wheel for a 7 speed ird freewheel but my question is in regards to the rear derailleur. I am using a early 80's campy neuvo record rear and I need to know if this derailleur is compatible with a 32 tooth cog or should I go with the 13/28 ?

Thanks,

28 is the most, if you know what you're doing.... as it's rated for 26t. See these:
