How tall? You do mean the stack height right? I think the late '80s Campi HS were some of the tallest ever made.
The seller of this one says it has a 43mm stack height

Velobase list this early Athena/Chorus style as being 41.2

+1 here. These are 41mm w/o any spacers. I was going to use one I bought on a new frame, but 39 was the max it could go. These are very light and very, very smooth. Excellent value, to boot.

You can't go wrong with a Tange Levin: https://www.universalcycles.com/shopp...&category=4127
If it doesn't reach, throw in a washer or two.

I suspect RFC's problem is slight lack of threads on the steerer.
