Default Full throttle

Hey guys I finally figured out my problem. Ok I admit it I’m older and slower and should have caught this before SMH. I now have full throttle. Secondaries opening approximately at 45 degrees pedal to the floor (Before only 30 degrees) All this time approximately 10 years this engine has never performed like this and I always knew something was wrong because the engine was just a pig. (Bought the car like this and due to lack of performance I parked the car 8-10 years). Ok ok thanks to you I kept fiddling around with it and the cable clamp was still not fastened correctly (I’m sure someone else has got to be running around with it wrong too) Here are pictures of the cable housing and clamp incorrect pic #1, and the housing clamped correctly in the groove of the clamp pic #2 (full throttle). Picture #3 back of clamp with cable housing in the groove. Now my engine performs like a 250 with a 4 barrel carburetor and pulls through the gears. Thanks to PY and technology being able to post and with pics so members can see what I have going on and set me in the right direction. Thank you all.
Hmm ok maybe I am the only fool that had it wrong.
