Turn the carb around so that the linkage is on the right hand side.

This is what I do. If your throttle pedal is mounted up off the floor a bit, a lever off the bottom portion of the pedal makes a nice clean pull throttle. If not, do what Ricci32 suggested and loop the cable around the housing and mount it to the top of the pedal.

Scott Krieger:
That's how we run ours, like you have mocked up. But you'll need a brace under the cable mount' down to the head or manifold to stop from flexing down when you hit the throttle.

A throttle stop under the pedal is an excellent idea as well.

FEDNV:
Thanks for all the reply's, going to stick with my setup I have but maybe redo my bracket with a thicker piece of aluminum so it doesn't flex like mentioned.  I will definitely be doing a new and improved throttle stop for the pedal itself.  I never realized how hard I was pushing on the throttle pedal with the transbrake engaged at the start until I broke my current throttle stop setup.  Adrenaline is awesome!!!
