Throttle cable seems to have slack and not pulling the carb to WOT. Doesn’t seem to have a way to adjust from the firewall to carb link. Is there another way to adjust or anyone have any ideas? Or should I look into an aftermarket one? Thanks in advance!

Could be stretched. Is it a stock carb and linkage?

You might want to check your plastic keeper at the gas pedal rod too. Sometimes they'll break but hold enough to keep the eye from popping through. If that happens, then it'll add to your travel just a bit before it actually starts to pull, and then leave you short on a full pull at WOT.

I'm assuming there's no Toyota floor mat wedged under the gas pedal, right?
