I was thinking a medium compound 180 530 13 or 200 530 13 I think they were the options

The 200s will probably be far too wide for a 7" rim. The 180s are usually mounted on 9" rim IIRC but would probably squeeze onto a 7". A 170/535 as was used by formula ford would probably be your best bet.

I presume crossplys? I suspect radials would be better suited for the op's car setup if interchanging with road tyres.
