Dominator throttle with stock pedal, can't get WOT #2068914

So I have the jegs dual spring throttle bracket and a nice Lokar cable with the stock A body throttle pedal.

Now I can adjust it and get WOT, but when you let off there isn't enough slack to return to the idle circuit. If I adjust so I have idle then I only get about 30% throttle. And that's not any fun.

I thought about maybe putting the throttle stud in the rear hole that is open but at WOT that hole goes below the bracket.

Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Is the lever on the pedal itself bent? Can you bend it so the pedal itself sits higher and has more travel?

Not a Dominator expert, didn't even stay at a Holiday Inn either.....

That hole goes below the bracket at WOT Dom. The stud would hit the throttle bracket and stop it. I thought about swapping the springs with the throttle stud, but the instructions say that's how it's supposed to be.

For one thing.. move the return springs to
the hole that you have the cable in... put
the cable in the top hole.. then move the
cable housing mount if needed

If he puts the cable in the top hole it should take even more pedal travel to get wot.

This is true... BUT.. how do you pull up hill when it
still needs to down farther.. I didnt have any problems
using a stock pedal on my doms
EDIT
make sure the top of the pedal is against the fire
wall... or add length to the top of the pedal to
change the ratio

I had that problem in my 69 dart W/750 DP, I removed
some material from the pedal to get more travel.

i had the same problem with one of those brackets. I moved the cable stud to every hole and even drilled a new one. Nothing worked. I had to buy one of andys throttle brackets that mount to the intake bolts. Only thing that worked for me using a new stock replacement cable.

I had the same issue. It doesn't work where you show having it. Put it in the rearward hole. I use a Lokar cable, with an oem pedal. (69 Dart) I was going to post a pic, but I forgot that this website functions like 2003.

That rear hole goes below the throttle bracket at WOT. If I put the throttle stud there it will stop the throttle from going wide open as well.

I use photo bucket on my phone to post pics on here. It's actually pretty easy.

The simple way is reach down and bend the pedal arm up away from the floor...this is what I do

Something wrong, as my brkt mounts like yours. That's the hole that works. If I can't go straight from my phone, I might as well use dial up😏

So you're bending the end that the pedal attaches to or the end the cable attaches to?

I prefer to add to the top length of the pedal
so I dont have a long distance of my foot.. this
is just a ratio... from idle to wot measure that
distance.. then on the top of the pedal arm at the
hole measure that from the firewall.. that top part
of the pedal has to travel the amount of the carb
EDIT
Or put a spacer behind the pedal to get more travel

The closer you have the cable to the centerline of the throttle shaft the quicker it works and uses the least amount of travel to get there, if the hole go's below the bracket try putting the cable mount on the bottom of the bracket.


Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

Your cable angle is wrong. Flip the cable retainer upside down (from under the bracket).

There appears to be hole farther back. That hole appears to be closer to the centerline/axis like Bill said. After screwing with mine I found out the rear adjuster (not the threaded piece attached to the carb) is the one that makes the difference.
