The 7407 is an open-collector device.  It needs to be pulled high.  Do you do 
that?  I dont think timing is your issue, the 7407 is rated at 27ns max, it 
shouldnt skew the A12 enough to mess up setup times and stuff.  I know it 
sounds basic, but sometimes I miss them the most.  But then again, I am a 
programmer, so there is a good chance I dont know what I am talking about.
