There's a Tange Levin CDS with a 30 mm stack height with one spacer, but 22 mm, wow, that is short! Is it the right fork? Perhaps could the top of the head tube be shaved? I've been told you need at least three complete threads engaged on headset locknuts. If I recall a Campy Strada Record is 36 or 38 mm. Super Record was taller.

Did you measure the steer tube length down to the crown race seat? If not (I don't think this is likely, you've been around this a long time) that could be eating up 12-15 mm. Just worthwhile to double-check.
