I changed the VFO frequency range capacitor to 120 pf and now have a 178 khz
tuning range. Since I only need 125 khz to reach the SKCC frequency of
7120 khz, I may try a 100 pf capacitor. I would like to know what types of
capacitors will work will here. The 68 pf capacitor is a disc ceramic
I changed the VFO frequency range capacitor to 120 pf and now have
a 178 khz tuning range.
That's why I've always termed this option as the 180 kHz option rather than
Elecraft's 150 kHz characterization.

7120 khz, I may try a 100 pf
You mentioned having changed out the 30m hetrodyne crystal, which I assume
means that your 30m band tuning now starts near 10 MHz. Reducing VFO span
to, say, 125 kHz will mean that you'll only be able to cover about the first
20 kHz of the 30m band.
