VR 5.0L accelerator cable / peddle adjustment

[mess666]

Don't know if this is normal or not, but with my VR, if you adjust the accelerator cable so it has full tension, (ie. no slack) the peddle can only be depressed about 3/4 and it will be at full throttle.

I didn't realise this initially, and as a result, snapped the cable from stabbing the accelerator occasionally.

I can adjust the cable, so that the peddle can be full depressed, and stop at the floor, but then there is just too much slack in the peddle.

Is there some was of actually adjusting the peddle? or is there supposed to be a stopper on the peddle of some sort?

Cheers

2 person job..... one to hold it flat while the engine isnt running and one to adjust the cable when the throttle is fully opened and pedal to the floor

That's what i've done, but then there is still slack in the cable when released.

Like you can play with the peddle for about 1/4 before the cable grabs.
