Show me your under hood throttle/kickdown setups

Im running a 360 magnum with the Chinagap copy of the eddy intake and an eddy 1605 carburetor, and i currently use one of those modern type brackets with return spring set up for kickdown and throttle cable.

I'd like to get back to something a little more factory if possible. First problem i ran into in the build was that with my factory pedal i couldn't get enough pull needed to get to full throttle, so i had to install an aftermarket pedal and cable that i am not at all fond of.

Wondering if i was just missing something or if theres a good way to get a more factory type setup using the original pedal.

For the kickdown i use the Lokar cable setup.
