Is there anywhere that lists the appropriate bottom bracket spindle lengths for older (80s) campagnolo cranksets?

I'm building a mid eighties Benotto with a 70mm shell width. The original Nervar BB is shot. The original spindle was a wide 121mm with the original pantographed Benotto cranks ("Benotto" engraved up and down both crankarms). I'd like to keep the original cranks but to my knowledge 121mm Campagnolo bottom brackets arent easily available so it looks like I'm in for a new crankset.

I'm looking to pick up a 80s campy record crankset, dual chainring...but I'm not sure what width BB I should be shopping for. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for reading!

so is it that this question is absurdly elementary and doesnt deserve a response? or is it that no one knows the answer? I'll try in the classics forum.

Sheldon Brown has a partial listing of crank/BB spindle lengths at www.hariscyclery.com

Being a dyed in the wool Campy guy I can attest that it's a ShimaNo world. Ask that question about 80's era Dura Ace and you'll get 50 replies and 100 views. That's just the way it is.
