[TowerTalk] parallel tuning network

I am trying to build a parallel tuning network for a 160 Mtr. 
inverted L. I have a variable capacitor and a roller inductor which I 
wish to hook up to help tune the inv. l.  The cap and inductor are 
both made by the Johnson Co. The cap is model # 154-2-3 and the 
inductor is number # 229-201.

My problem is that being electronically challenged and very new to 
ham radio, I don't know how to hook the items up to make them work 
properly. They are from a Johnson Viking set and I am hoping that I 
can make them work to tune the inv. L.

I really don't know which end is which or where the different wires 
should be attached. I've done several searches on the net but have 
been unable to find any info that will tell me what I need to 
know.  Any information you can give me will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Lennnie. KD8CWP
