Gas pedal different?

Anyone know if there is a difference in gas pedals in squares? I replaced my broken one in my 76 with one from a 79 auto truck I replaced the whole arm rather then try to pop the pin since i could see that going bad with 30 year old plastic. I drove it just fine for a month but it would never seem to go wide open me being lazy never decided to look into it further until i had a problem which was the cable poping though the plastic retainer while going up a mountain this weekend with the camper on the back. zip ties are a god send in that situation. I replaced the cable sunday when i got home and it looks like I only get about 75% of full throttle looks like i dont have enough to open the secondaries which would explain why i was pushing so hard on the gas i broke the cable I can get the other arm if that is what is causing this but its 10 miles away in storage.
