chain skipping

put on a new freewheel and new chain, and now the chain skips when I am in the larger cogs on the freewheel.

I put the same number of chain links on that I took off. I reused the same chain ring.

Help?

Is the deraileur not putting enough tension on the chain? Or at the right angle? Glancing at other bikes the deraileur on mine seems not to be pulling back as far as theirs. I took it off and cleaned it and it feels like what I would guess is right.

thanks,
