700r4 tv cable

[Govern]

when i got the truck it seemed like it was bogging down going 40-50 mpg which i found strange since it has 456 gears and 35inch tires i thought that should be good. SO a friend suggested i check the tv cable. Turns out when the motor and trans were swapped the po used a turbo 350 bracket and wrong bracket on the carb...

To correct this i install the proper bracket and proper edelbrock geometry bracket on the carb. Surprise its all fixed..

NOw the issue i have been continuing to have is the actuall throttle is very stiff from the peddle. I just determined its the tv cable. When i disconnect the tv cable from the carb the gas pedal feels totally normal.

Anyone that owns a 700r4 knows the tv cable needs to be adjusted properly, which mine is now, however its creating a very stiff gas pedal. MY question is does anyone else have this experience? a very stiff pedal? possible the cable is bad?
