I am taking a wild guess, here, but based on what you stated: "Never tried it with the old one, as it did not have a battery in it, I hauled it home on a trailer. Old and new cables were exactly same length"
Perhaps the original [to you] was incorrect and too long? The cables are specific to the engine [6 or 8 cylinder].

I peeled back some carpet from around the gas pedal, and it gave me the clearance I needed

Did you also have padding under the carpet?

Yes, it had apparently gotten bunched up under the pedal, so I ripped a chunk out and i works as it should
