Gas Pedal issue

Hi guys, got the car running and everything is fine, however the gas pedal seems to be lower than before. I can "oick it up" aout 2-3 inches? Is there a way to fix this? I've gone through my haynes and Chilton manual to no avail.

No problem Doc, it came out of a GM service manual for a 89 camaro.

thanks, i went to home depot and got a spacer thing, it's like a 1/2" bar with a slit in one side, slipped it over the cable, then pinched it down with some plyers. works perfectly.
