Based on my calculations, this coil would tune properly when tapped at 13.3 
turns.  A larger primary is needed if you stay with the present cap size.  I 
had to make some assumptions about the primary design.  I assumed 5.8" I.D. 
#10 wire spaced at .35".  This may not be exactly what you have but the 
inductance doesn't change a whole lot by going to say .25" tubing or changing 
the I.D. or spacing a little.
