Gas pedal throw issue

So I just received 20-7 holley bracket and doesn't fit my setup in no way shape or form ie : carb arm / throttle cable return and mount bracket , similar issue that mikecuda69 had. I have already in my possession hly 20-67 so passed that on to be machined with measurements to give me a straight on centered pull action which I'm going to bolt directly to the carb arm . Will post picture when assembled.
What i did after installing a tunnel ram and not getting full throttle was, i removed the pedal assembly from the firewall and put it in a vise, then removed the pedal, put a pipe over the rod and bent it about 3/4". Put everything back together and now have full throttle.
