As electroking noted, both the coils shown as L2 are on that assembly, and the two lower ("cold") ends of the coils are connected together and to system ground. If substituting a different coil, determine the common terminal and connect the same as before. If the set won't oscillate (as determined by the set tuning broadly, maybe one station all over the dial), reverse the connections of one of the coils.

Main tuning cap alignment: tune in a station of known frequency near 1400 Khz. The trimmer on the smaller section of the tuning cap will move the station up or down the dial until it reads correctly on the dial scale. Then tune to a weak station around 1400 and peak reception with the trimmer on the larger section of the tuning cap.
