Call me captain obvious but it has to be something with the carb or dist. I would go through both to make sure Murphy didn't get you when messing with them. Its normally something easy that got brain farted. Recheck the dist. install (is the rotor at #1 when #1 is at TDC compression?) recheck the timing. Then I wold pull the carb and go through it again and re install. Other than that look at whatever else you adjusted or removed. Where is the squeal coming from?
