I’ve seen this quote posted before in the past. Someone needs to explain exactly how there would be any difference between operating the throttle to WOT by hand at the carb vs. “flooring it” at the pedal. The throttle is closed regardless, and when you floor it via pedal it should be at WOT. No different than operating the throttle by hand as you’re bent over the fender! These Lokar trans kickdown cables are pulled at the carb as the throttle is opened.
