Actually Bob, the pump isn't right next to the carbs. The carbs on a 1500
are on the RHS of the engine and the fuel pump is on the lower LHS to the
rear of the engine.
Either way, the mech. pumps tend to vary in pressure. I'm using an NOS fuel
pump for the 1500 engine but there are some aftermarket pumps that were made
and they have varying pressures. Either way. a pressure regulator is a good
idea unless you want to use a modern electric fuel pump with adjustable
pressure(expensive).
Being a member of the "We Tight Club" (from the 1st PA Rally). I opted for
the regulator. This is may change in the future but works fine for now.

Ah HAH...Dan D.!
There we have it then, most likely.
Looks like Peter C. hit the nail right on the
head with respect to his fuel regulator
suggestion, considering DCOE's run at
1.5-2.0. And that pump is basically right
next to the carbs. so it's getting it all I
would assume.
