Gas pedal bending

Hey 66plyvaliant, I think in the 2nd pic, don is saying that the pedal is to the floor and the carb is only open 1/4 way. So there is going to be slack because the carb isnt fully opened.

Are your brackets on right?? Have you got a parts manual? I have one on the computer if you want a copy I can burn you one. pm me your address if you need it.
