Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Was running great, I replaced the valve covers and noticed a couple bare wires near the distributor unplugged but they look like they have been for a while. when I get in an turn the key nothing happens, no dome light ,head lights, no dash lights. Totally dead now, checked fuse panel all ok . could the clutch have anything to do with it ?
