Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by hundreds of engineers that get paid thousands of dollars for something you bought at Pep Boys because your buddy who doesn't have a job told you it was 'better'?!?

Six cylinder Healey here too, but I'd had enough of the vague__at best__throttle action, doubting the pedal ever returned to the same position twice, and then sometime around 1986 I fitted 3 X 45 DCOEs, so I completely revamped the throttle linkage at the same time.
From the pedal...
... through the metal...
... up towards the business end...
... to terminate at three throttle-shafts!
By optimizing the bell crank ratios, I could have high resolution with long and linear pedal travel. Something about linkages in general, and it doesn't matter if it's an analog circular chart recorder or a one venturi per twelve cylinder engine, when properly set up, observe the pedal AND butterflies at 50% of their range, and all the bell cranks to linkage rods should be at a right angle (90*).
