Not Just a Gust of Wind

I have a new problem with my 69 MGB GT.  When I let off on the gas quickly 
the car does a quick sideways wiggle like it was hit by a gust of wind.  This 
wiggle also occurs when I quickly accelerate while the car is moving.  So the 
sequence usually is; back off on the gas to slow down, side wiggle, 
accelerate, side wiggle.  As you can imagine this is not a good driving 
situation!  

Of course this just occurred after I replaced the rear leaf springs, so I am 
wondering  what the heck happened.  I have a tube shock conversion that is 
not new, but the shocks are in good shape.  One other bit of background data, 
just to detail my recent completed tasks. I replaced the exhaust system and 
the previous system did not have the strap from the down pipe to the 
transmission case, now it does.

Thanks in advance for your thought/suggestions,
Charles
