Sound like you might have got the HT leads on the wrong way round?

are you sure you've put the leads back on in the right order?

Take the plugs out and check the gaps.

Try unplugging each ht lead one at a time when the engine is running (MAKE SURE YOU USE A WELL INSULATED TOOL TO DO THIS).
See if the engine slows down with any of the leads disconnected, if any of them make no difference then you have found your problem.
