To check this, back off the nut a little and see if the movement frees up. If it does, you either need to repair the current pedal and bell crank, buy new, or this is my solution.

Modified Gas Pedal Lever

You can fab this yourself or I have extras I will sell you for $50. including shipping

This looks like a great solution. Does this look like what you are describing? Does the original lever shaft screw into the back side?
