Are my brake and gas pedals suppose to be side by side?

I noticed this the other day...

The gas pedal is almost to the floor...about 4-5" behind/lower than my brake pedal. Not lower as in...hitting the floor pan...but lower as in if someone were pushing it down with their foot.

Everything appears to be hooked up properly. Although the arm that goes from my firewall to the carb linkage rests on the back of my engine.

Any suggestions?
