Gas pedal throw issue

A pic of your setup would be nice, as would info on what carb setup you have. However, I'll take a wild stab at this and say that you're trying to run your Mopar cable to the Chebby/Ferd linkage points on your carb. Holley and Edelbrock both sell Mopar carb linkage adapters for their carbs that must be used to get your pivot points correct. This also affects your kickdown linkage.
