I have this somewhat custom linkage set up on my 273 in my 66 Barracuda. The way it's currently set up, I'm not getting full throttle out of my Edelbrock carb. I'm barely getting half throttle. The travel between the pedal and the floor is very short. I canted the throttle cable bracket further back, towards the firewall. I did get full throttle, but the pedal stuck out at an extremely awkward angle. As you can tell from the picture, the way the cable archs up makes it seem like it might be too long, even though it's made for this car. If anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hard to tell, since I'm on my cell phone, but it looks like you need the Mopar throttle lever adapter. Summit has them. It gives the correct pivot point for your pedal.
The part number is 1481.
