That tuner is capable of all those combinations?

No. It only has the T network configuration. Nothing else.
The T network is reversable, which it has to be if one leg of the T is a
fixed cap and you want any range.
Arcing at 500 watts on 160M has stopped. I beefed up the coil and
installed
an edge wound coil from a 1929 TBK transmitter. If my solder joints do not
hold up I will have to switch out the #12 copper connecting wire to copper
tubing.
Exactly what is the entire antenna and feed system are you trying to
feed????
How are you tuning the tuner? Are you starting with maximum possible
capacitance, and going from that point first by changing only the inductor?
