You can put a heavier spring on it. It will make the gas pedal harder to depress.
First, try removing the accelerator rod from the carb and with the engine turned off, crank the carb wide open to feel if there is any binding in the throttle shaft, If it is binding, you will need a new throttle body on the carb itself, or the throttle blades are binding against a gasket or something else.
Oh, and by the way, welcome to ChevyTalk!
This was going to be my exact advice.
Tell you what,try and take a picture of your engine and a good shot of the carb/cable or rad and set up. Theres alot we can see in a pic if the pic is clear enough.Im only asking this as you said 455 so I was wondering if the previous owner added a cable style linkage or if the stock style rod linkage is still there.
Please see if you can get a couple good clear shots.
