How can I shorten gas pedal travel?

[Dino]

I'm not talking about the cable itself. There's no slack and the primaries start to open as soon as you push on the gas, with primaries and secondaries all the way open with the pedal down. The problem is the amount of travel the pedal makes. I have to push the pedal deep into the carpet to get WOT. I would like to reduce the amount of travel the pedal has to make. What adjustments do I need to make? Maybe change the shape of the bell crank roller?

Try removing the pedal and roller and just stepping on the lever. (I did this years ago and now am use to it.)

I had to cut the carpet out from under the pedal, if you lower the cable connection at the carburetor connection as in making it closer to the throttle shaft it will shorten the pedal travel. 1/4 in makes a lot of difference

   Shorten the travel at the carb, not the pedal. If you have an aftermarket carb, be sure you have the correct Mopar throttle lever adapter, this will have a lot of affect on the pedal travel.

The Holley 20-7 adapter fits the Holley carburetor.

I had the same issue, so I removed the roller from the lever and fitted a roller bearing of a larger diameter in it's place.
It made enough of a difference to leave it on, but what John has said probably makes more sense.

Another vote to start by shortening the travel at the carb linkage, and then work back from there.

With the Holley 20-7 it's easy to drill a new hole closer to the throttle shaft. I was only getting like 70%, now I was seeing 100% last time I checked

Thanks guys. I have the 1481 bracket that was recommended by Randy Bouchillon. I'm not opposed to trying the Holley bracket. I'm as close to the throttle shaft as I can get with this bracket.

cable travel sure looks to short.

[Dino]

Yes it probably is. I had that adjustment bracket loose and have not reset it.
