throttle cable question

Im running a throttle cable from a 99 truck in my 74. I test drove it today and had to push the pedal to the floor to move the truck. how do I adjust the cable on the pedal?

Re: throttle cable question

You'll need to either bend the upper part back, while holding the pedal off the floor where you want it. Or go to the auto parts store and get an adjustable cable stop and cut the factory cable end off and put it on the pedal side of the cable. I have pics in my build thread (the rusty truck) of how to do it.
