Coils should be marked for the capacitor they are to be used with. But I'm pretty sure they are for 140 pf which was often used for short wave sets. You should be able to order one of those on line or on the auction site. You could also press into service the oscillator section (the one with fewer plates) of a variable salvaged from a junked AA5 radio, which may be about 160 pf. and won't be exactly right, but closer. Using a higher value capacitor will make the coil tune lower in frequency than it's marked.
You could also put a 220 pf cap in SERIES with your 365 pf cap to reduce the max to about 140 pf.
