Default Stiff Accelerator

Hey,

So I've recently done an engine swap in my '82 GMC Sierra Classic. It now has a 5.7 TBI. After this swap however I've noticed that the accelerator feels like you're stepping on a brick... it takes a bit of force before it finally decides to give. Naturally, this makes for a fairly uncomfortable experience.

My question is if there are any solutions to ease that tension a bit and make the accelerator a bit more manageable. OR am I just going to have to deal with it?

Let me know if you need more information... Thanks in advance for your help.

Grace and peace,

Brandon Smith

Take the cable off, and see if the cable is stiff.
