ominous noises

The car has been running wonderfully- until this afternoon. Took it for
a run this morning and came back and fiddled with the carbs, as I am
still trying to get the best performance, adjusted my rocker clearance
because I believe I had it wrong, and sealed it all back up. Starts
fine, sounds good for a second, then there is a most awful screeching
noise, which does not go away with a little (or a lot) of
throttle- just takes a higher pitch. So I check: the belt, has a
reasonable amount of tension; no jiggle in either the generator or the
water pump (though I did not check these with the belt off). Even added
some drops of oil to the generator as Clymer suggests- all to no avail.
Any suggestions on what's happening here?

Thanks,
Chris
