Are all square body throttle pedals stiff?

[dhughins]

My new to me 84 and 85 both have stiff throttle pedals. They both have the little pigtail loop from firewall to bracket. They have a breaking point that once u get over it's easier but they both are really stiff compared to everything I remember driving. I'll probably buy a new cable and see if that changes anything but I was gonna ask on here 1st.
