Sorry, I missed that you were actually doing 65 when it quit. In that case,
I'd say you also have a bum alternator (or wiring to it, etc.). But I still
think you've got a battery problem.
Batteries can be ruined in a matter of days by running them totally flat and
leaving them that way. Had that happen just a couple of months ago in a
non-LBC, to a battery that was only about 4 months old. I was out of town,
and the wife accidentally left the dome light on. When she went to start
the car exactly a week later (it has to be moved every Thursday for street
sweeping), the battery wouldn't take a charge.
