Hi Joe, The neatest cable set up I've ever seen was using the original gas pedal and rod through the firewall. The fellow made a small vertical steel plate that was bolted to an original hole for the bellcrank on side of the block. This little plate had a 90 deg. bend for attachment to the block and the larger part was standing perpendicular to the block. The end of his rod from the pedal ran through a hole in this 'plate' and had a bend at the end that connected to his cable, also mounted to the plate, carb end then looped up to his carbs.
I should have taken a picture. I'm sure this is clear as mud but if you want I can attempt a drawing, let me know and best of luck
Jim
