Question Weird Problem

I just had the weirdest thing happen to me today. I Started my '85 B2 and let it warm up for about 10 min. When I went outside and hopped in I turned on the heater and took off the parking brake. I let it roll down the driveway and almost right away the engine quit. I put on the poarking brake, turned off the heater and the radio and turned the key. Click..Click..Click..Click. "Hmm", I thought. The battery can't be dead. So I tried it again. This time nothing. I poped the hood and cheacked all my connections. They were all fine. I tried it again. This time when I opened the door, the dome light didn't even turtn on. I went into the garage and grabbed the multimeter. The battery was dead as a doorknob. I don't know what the heck happened.

I had the same thing happen to mine, it was the weirdest thing, then it was ok after a couple hours. Hopefully that's how your's is. Double check ground.
