Throttle Linkage

So I hooked up the throttle linkage on my 56 last night using the stock pedal and rod linkage. This probably worked great for the inline 6 that was in the truck from new but I just can't get it to operate smoothly. I cut the linkage stem that comes through the firewall in half and re drilled a mount hole for the rod so it can operate the carb properly but I must have the geometry of it all wrong because it binds a bit. Is anyone else running the stock pedal and linkage with a small block? And if so, do you have any pictures you could post up?

If I have to swap to a cable operated linkage, what would be the best donor?
