If it's early 1970s, then rear dropout spacing is probably 120mm, which is approximately 4-3/4" and is the same as a track wheel. Front fork is going to be 100mm, and is the same for track (nutted) wheels. Also, original wheels were 27", so the brakes will need to have about 4mm more reach to work with 700c.
