I don't know off hand where you will fing the 22T ring you need (it's skip tooth, so you're looking for a 22, not a 44). But they are out there, and I'll bet someone on the list has one. I'm running a 24 on my replica.
Actually Brian is at least partially wrong.
The 151 bcd Campy Pista crankset is suitable for Campy inch-pitch chainrings OR more recent 1/2 inch chainrings. Both were made in the 151 bcd size. I don't think Campy made a 44 tooth ring in that size. I have a 47 on mine; and they may have made a 46. Larger rings are available of course. A normal 1/8" width track chain will work.
In inch-pitch, Campy made 22 and larger only, and they are rather difficult to find. (I just bought a 23 from CyclArt). For these you will need the skip-tooth chain.

> I picked up a very nice Campag Pista crank last year, either at the Cirque
or the local swap meet. Has a 50t ring. Its got a 151 bcd, which I
understand were on pre-1967 cranks. 1. Would anyone have a 44t ring for
sale, or are any commercially available? 2. What chain is compatable? I
found out that 'standard' chains, like would fit a 6 spd fw, are too narrow.
And are any such chains available?
