Dear Ken,
There is only one thing I could add to the already excellent advice
that you have been given here.

Be prepared to connect both sides of the line coming into the shack
together and feed the resulting top loaded vertical from your tuner on
160 meters using the "long wire" terminal against ground. That will
require a better earth connection that you might otherwise need, but it
will probably do a better job on 160 than tuning the system as a
balanced, short dipole.
