Do you have the knobs set at AK
3?

I'm not sure what you mean - a picture perhaps? The instructions for the zipper foot start on page 38 (pdf page-not actual) of the Danhopgood manual. Here again the knobs should be AK
3. The screw on the back is for adjusting the foot to the left or right of the needle. Since it is hinged and slant shank, it does look a little weird. The number for the zipper foot complete is 161166. Do you have any of the numbers on the zipper foot. It almost looks like it might be a low shank. The slant shank adjustable zipper foot would look like this
link on Etsy. And the low shank one would look
like this. They look similar.

for the number, (helps if one knows the part number first), but "slant" is in the description (great), shame it is 5/32" , but at least I now know 5/32" means its too large,
The 5/32" description is the size of the actual width of the hem. Too large? That is approximately 3.5
mm width.

Sorry about that. I thought it would work. As I have been able to get some of the pdf from the web.archive site and thought all of them would work. I have some that I got before from the original site(before it was archived).

https://danhopgood.files.wordpress.c...anual-med3.pdf this is better quality "411 User Manual" than offered by singer themselves, clear and sharp focus, credit goes to Dan the best quality scan (of any 400 class document) I've seen anywhere!
There is another good one at

Thank you for taking so much time, effort and interest in replying and assisting me,...
Wow -
only over an hour??
I usually take so long that many times others will chime in more quickly and I usually have to sign on again, before I can post.
You are welcome. I do enjoy researching stuff about these vintage machines. There is so much out there on the internet, now.
