Burke1118, common mistake and we did this also.
First of all, you should really be running a regulator with a return/bypass. Deadhead regulators are hard on fuel pumps and can cause the fuel to move very slowly between the pump and fuel log. Usually this fuel line is near headers and can get warm. Warm fuel is bad for the motor in general.
The setup should be pump to the front of the fuel log and then have the regulator installed at the back of the fuel log with the return line running back to the tank. At first glance, this may not make sense because the regulator is not in the "flow" of the fuel but this is exactly what you want. The pressure will be the same anywhere past the pump (there is nothing restricting it other than the needle valves in the carm) so it doesn't matter where you are measuring or regulating pressure as long as it is somewhere between the pump and the carb. By putting it at the back of the log, you remove the regulator from limiting flow and it only limits pressure by releasing excess pressure into the return line. This is exactly what you want. The also keeps fuel moving through the system as quickly as possible and limits the amount of heat it picks up while under the hood.
Page 2 of this PDF diagrams it nicely in case my description is crap:
