Check my throttle linkage

On my ‘74 W200, 360 with a manual transmission. I have an RPM AirGap manifold, a 1” wood spacer, and a Holley 750 Street Demon. AR Engineering throttle cable bracket and return spring bracket for high rise manifold.
My pedal is really stiff, and acts like a light switch. Either on or off, it’s difficult to ease into the throttle. Take a look at the pics, what do you see wrong?

Also, at wide open throttle, the cable stop doesn’t bottom out on the cable, it’s the carburetor that ends the travel...I don’t think that is right?

When held wide open, cable stop does not bottom out.
