Edelbrock makes a mount part #8036, search for some pics to see how it looks when it's assembled. It looks like it moves your cables near the valve cover, which might fix the binding problem by putting more of an "s" in it compared to now.
Yeah I'm looking at it now, it looks kind of goofy honestly

Here's the link at jegs.com that show it together but I just don't see how it could benefit the throttle cause in the description it says about cruise and kick down bracket. I think I'm going to attempt to get a throttle bracket like we've been talking and see if that solves it. Like you said there's no way to physically shorter the linkage without buying a new one or coming up with something.
