If the output goes down there is a need to reduce the inductance. Introduce a small piece of brass or aluminium rod into the former and see if it peaks, glue that in if it does.
If nothing peaks the coil then the existing slug is in exactly the right place.

This may not work with TV IF coils where the core affects coupling.
I will try that, now I need to find some bits!
