I had the same problem when I installed my 750 holley. You need to find an adjustable bracket for the accelerator cable. Jegs or Summit should have one. I also had to adjust the cable where it hooks in the accelerator pedal. There should be 2 pressed on rivets on your cable with a plastic piece that fits in your accel pedal. Mine was set on the bottom setting so I had to change it to the top setting.

i picked up a throttle cable from a camaro same year as mine and it was plenty long enough, and i also ran an adjustable edelbrock bracket on the intake and it works great.

You can get what you need from AutoZone. They have the right bracket in chrome in their performance isle. Thats where I got mine from.
