Seems to me that moving the cable jacket rearward in the intake bracket would effectively take up the slack at the pedal end, wouldn't it ?
In other words, pulling more of the cable forward inside the jacket. As I mentioned, I tried that, It didn't change anything. It has to. x3 But you might need more than that bracket can provide.

Exactly , in the picture it's too far forward , loosen the clamp and pull it back till all the slack is taken up, if that puts it off the clamp location then the cable you have is too long for that mounting bracket design. But to me that cable looks a bit too long, what is the length of the jacket itself ?
running up my post count some more .

The factory overall inner cable length should adjust fine. If it's loose at one end it is because either the throttle cable bracket is to far forward. Or the pedal assy is bent (unliklely). Who's bracket is it? I always make my own. The only issue with using a factory long cable like a 6 cylinder is you may hae to loop it a bit behind the left head. The relation ship between the inner length and the outer casing of all factory cables is similar enough to allow adjustment. I can cut and weld it for you if you need. Get a measurement of where it needs to be. I'm in Waterford Mi. Just finished one for the turbo Duster project I'm working on.
Doug His pedal may have an issue , I don't remember it being that close to the firewall at rest ? The bracket looks like AndyF's AREngineerings' bracket ....
