Ok, thanks for everyones help. I think I figured it out and now it's shifting much better. However, still needs some tweaking. I measured the gap to the top of the FD and it's now 1.5mm approximately.
I loosened the shifting cable and measured the FD at 1.5 mm. Then set the limit screws. Once I attached the cable to the FD and tighten the tension bolt holding the cable it seems to have aligned the FD properly. At that point, making a minor adjustment to the limit screw with the cable now attacked seems to have done the trick.
The shifting cable seems to sit lateral to the bolt when I tighten it. I'll post pictures in the am. It appears the cable can slip out.
