QuadraJet Throttle Rod Connection Question

[LongBox]

On my 69 350SBC with 350 TH, the throttle rod goes into one of two holes on the actuating plate on the primary throttle shaft. It is on the one that gives the quickest opening. The truck has lots of "jump" when you are just starting out from a stop. I bet the factory did this to make the truck seem more powerful for folks test-driving them at the dealer.

Is there any problem that anyone knows if I relocate the rod to the outer hole, which will give a more gentle throttle action?

Picture should make it clear.
