i didnt cut mine, why i mentioned to ignore the writing. i mounted the stud, facing outwards, where you have the kickdown bolted. a "hairpin" clip on the inner groove, a washer, the linkage, washer and another hairpin clip, is what i did to make mine work. double springs, and i verified it all worked, and operated smoothly, and freely, before driving. small block with an edelbrock performer and linkage kit, basically the same deal as yours. i also used the factory throttle cable, with no issues on mine.

You need to get the proper throttle cable bracket. Look here: http://arengineering.com/throttlebracket/Tbracket/tbracketframe.htmlOnce you get that fixed we can help you get things sorted out. Step 1: get the correct throttle cable bracket Step 2: install said bracket Step 3: get back to us so we can help you get it working properly.

3 piece is the way to go. much easier to work with than a rube goldburg cable setup in my opinion. you can alter the length (or where the stud contacts)of the slot with a set screw and nut, slide it to where the full kickdown is (push back with hand)and the throttle is WOT, and tighten.

I've always wondered why the kickdown linkage had that huge long slot on it with springs holding it forward when everyone says to hook it up so it's full back at WOT, and then lock it down.
to prevent jamming the throttle at WOT makes sense!

make sure none of the carb linkage on the other side is not getting held up on the intake or carb base gasket. should check the butterflys and base gasket as well. the mount would have to be broken and engine lifting a good amount to stick the throttle at WOT...it can happen though are you sure that throttle cable is not frayed and sticking in the cable housing itself? some more pics would be nice
