for me it allowed me to reach high idle. as i explained in the beginning of the thread, my pedal would bottom out on the floor and i could only get to probably 2200 rpm at most. the move stiffened the pedal because of less leverage of course. and the inner hole is back a little farther from the outer, so now it doesn't take much pedal movement to get to high idle. and i have breakaway also, which is a good thing.

You moved the linkage to the hole where the spring attaches and vice versa (the spring to where the linkage used to attach), right?
On my truck - which is auto - the TPS plate is kinda in the way but not really, but I also have 2 additional springs that I don't see in your first picture: did you have them and removed them / never had them in the first place?

It looks like you could use a new breakover spring. Any slop is lost throttle action.
Have someone pedal the throttle for you while you observe how much travel you have and how much there is to be gained. If you lose that high idle screw there is alot of travel to be gained there. From the inside location on the throttle lever the throttle rod may hit the afc tower casting, you can clearance that for more travel...

If you did that without turning up your full power screw, your idle would be very low i think.... The reason i had to do this mod was because i turned my pump up and had to shorten my idle screw adjustment to get my idle back down, but with the pump turned all the way up, i still couldn't get the idle low enough, if i indexed the throttle linkage i could lower the idle, but now i couldn't get full throttle. To make a long story shorter, this mod gives you just enough travel to fix both issues.
