So I finally realized that my throttle cable is not hooked up right and pedal to the floor does not completely open the carb. How do I adjust the throttle cable? I think it needs to be tightened up a little. Do I do that from the carb end (I have an edelbrock if it matters) or on the pedal itself?

Inside the cab I can see there is about 1 inch of play in the pedal before it starts pulling the cable. Can I just shorten this?
