Kirk, I read the 10 pdf from the Peebles site. This receiver was meant for the 80, 40, 20, and 10 meter ham bands. Is that limited coverage what you want?
You can build it as a general coverage receiver by using your 365pF VC for Main Tuning or Bandset, and an additional 5-15pF VC as bandspread. Both VCs will probably need reduction drives.
There is no mention in the building instructions about shielding the RF amp from the detector. Shielding is especially important when using a ganged VC: the signal from the antenna can easily be coupled around the RF amp through the two ganged sections, and that will defeat the purpose of the RF amp, and may cause other problems. Old ARRL handbooks (from the 1930s) have explanations and instructions on RF shielding for receivers.
If you have not actually built a regen, I think it would be a good idea to start with something a bit simpler and easier, like this:

Here's another 3 tube regen:
