Matching up a used freewheel and new chain will nearly always be problematic. You may have to find the freewheel that works "best" (but not perfectly) and then put up with chain jumps while the new chain wears to match the cogs.

IMO, a Maillard freewheel is inferior to a Shimano. The tooth profiles are almost made to keep the chain from dropping onto the cogs properly.
