I just had a 347 put in and the gas pedal feels very soft and makes it hard to drive the damn car.

I was wondering if theres a way to adjust the throttle cable or is there something that wasnt done right when the motor was put in?

Also I notice theres a vacuum leak would that have anything to do that?

As well as the internal throttle body return spring there should also be a second return spring that attaches at one end to a black bracket that bolts to the side of the intake/elbow and then attaches to one of the holes on the throttle body linkage...

Vacuum leaks are never good, just fix it..
