Dial tracking error is one of two things: rotor positions vs. the dial, or less likely, plates that are almost shorting in the tuning capacitor. In most radios the lowest extreme vertical mark on the dial (below 550KC) corresponds to full mesh of the tuning cap. The IF will not have any significant effect on the dial accuracy in 99% of cases.
