Without measuring mine the 2 3/4 looks right. Have you tried that one? I don't see how having more stroke available on the cable would help, the pedal itself is limited to close to the 2 3/4, although it probably really has a little closer to 3 inches in reality. But I don't think the pedal has 3 3/4 of travel if you're running a stock pedal. YES !!!! true statment !!!! ^^^^^

What are you using for a throttle cable bracket? It is the stock bracket. When you mount the cable to the bracket you are using about 1 inch or better of stroke. I can cut the stop off the pedal and that could possibly work. Only thing is the pedal will be high off the floor. Like I said the cable that was on the car works stroke wise just wont reach the mounts. I never had this kind of problem before doing all kinds of swaps.

I read back through and thought I saw you have Andy's bracket. My experience with his bracket is that it moved the mounting point back from the carb, and I needed a cable with a longer stroke, so I think you've got the same thing going on.
I run a stock cable and hold down now, but I removed the lip on the back of the cable which allowed me to mount the cable more forward in the hold down. If you're off by 1/4 of an inch or even 1/2 this approach may work for you (vs removing the stop from the pedal).
What is the overall length of your cable? I bet you've got the 24.25 inch one. Mancini sells a 29 inch one with the 3 3/4 stroke, that's the one I bought when I was using Andy's bracket. I just checked and the stroke on it is 3 3/4.

I have a 69 charger project. I need a longer cable jacket wise to reach the mounting points. I can get cables but the stroke is to short on what I have found. My stock cable would work stroke wise just to short for the mounts. I will post a couple pictures to show the differences. my original cable is the top one and The Mancini cc-371 is the lower one. As you can see my original measures from tip of jacket to ball 3 3/4 inches and the Mancini measures 2 3/4 inches. Somewhere there is a loss of an inch. Mancini offers no solution and they do not make custom cables. I did contact another less than friendly place and they claim there measurement is 1 15/16 inches which I do not believe is correct at all. My measurements are made with cable off car pulling to wide open throttle and as you can see from tip of jacket to ball. I am at a loss. Any input would be great. Thanks. I have the same problem but hadn't started measuring yet. I have a longer Mancini cable on my EFI and it doesn't open all the way and is bottomed out so close in the closed position that sometimes the throttle arm doesn't come all the way back at idle. I need a stock throw and about an inch longer cable to replace the incorrect one. Someone post the correct answer when it is found.

A little longer jacket but it will still nicely fit. With the correct stroke I can use the carbs upper hole so the pedal effort will be reduced. Thanks again.
