You need the right throttle bracket or adapt the one you have. Move it back more

Which brand of carb? Edelbrock makes a Mopar throttle arm brackets that I've used successfully with an Eddy 1406 4-bbl carb.

Are you/is he using a 4-bbl throttle cable bracket?

It's a pro form. holley 4150.The bracket is a jegs billet.If it's set at wot it will not close when it's let off.It needs another inch of pull on the cable. we tried setting it back.
