I have a Campy 7-speed freehub. They were made in tiny quantities; the 8 speed versions were far more common. I am not aware of any French-made cogsets ever made for these.

I would place 20:1 odds that you have a freewheel.

A Shimano TZ-21 7-speed freewheel costing $15 new will shift better than any vintage freewheel no matter what the cost.

Replace your chain. Add another $15 or less for a new Shimano IG51. The combo will shift like butter.
