Drilling on Bodywork-can it cause any electrical problems

Hi Guys

Yesturday i was drilling holes on my firewall near the carburetor to put a replacement plate for the clutch cable. After completing it, i tried to start the car but it refused to, car was swinging but refused to start.

I will appriciate any advice on what to check to sort my problem out

Thanks Shiven

 

Caught any wires with the drill? Moved any wires/fuel lines to get at the firewall? 

 Have you knocked any wires off the coil? - even if you think you haven't, try pushing them all on tightly

Thanks for that Guys. . . after checking all the wires and all was correct. i then decided to check the timing and noticed my distributor timing was off. So i reset it and the car started fine, i noticed that my cam belt was loose, that could have caused the distributor pulley to go off

Huh?

So how does that relate to drilling holes in the bulkhead?

This must be a wind up!
