Replaced carburetor and now the throttle cable is too long. Looked at potentially adjusting length at the peddle, but thought to ask. Helping my son with this project. Thank you for you help.

thank yophotos of the cable and the carburetor throttle linkage would be helpful... maybe one or two of our mechanical engineering people can make some recommendations?
Manicmechanic007, no the cable is intact. see my explanation on the previous post. any help is appreciated.The cable is broken at the firewall?
do you have any images you could share? i understand but there isn't anywhere to move the bracket to? thank youI think you need to move that bracket with the cable holder to one of the bolt holes at the rear of the carb on the intake
The bracket that holds the cable on my 69 places the cable holder further back
Aren't those tapped holes I see further rearward on the intake??i understand but there isn't anywhere to move the bracket to?
So, on my straight six car there's another sortof throttle linkage acting as an intermediary between the cable and the carb, *and* they use the same connector on both ends! so I think that's what you're missing in this equation...Aren't those tapped holes I see further rearward on the intake??
Has the upper-most edge, only in reference to your pics in post #5, of the cable bracket been cut? It looks like that particular edge has been worked on. I'm wondering if someone modified that bracket (cut a portion off maybe?), and that's part of the issue. Like @manicmechanic007 said, it would make more sense if that bracket was further away from the carb. I've never seen that bracket mounted using a carb stud.... but I don't have any familiarity with Gen 1 Mustangs.
