Since you said the engine was running OK before you did all this work 
then the assumption is the present trouble was caused by something you 
just did. You must go over all of the things you touched and anything 
that you could have knocked loose. Pay particular attention to any 
vacuum leaks. Recheck all fuel and vacuum hose routing. Make sure all 
of the spark plug wires are installed correctly. It is possible you 
stretched an ignition wire and now that cylinder is "missing".
When first started the engine runs on the cold start valve so as soon 
as it is shut down the engine leans out and dies. This sounds like 
either a massive vacuum leak or the mixture screw is WAY off.
