'88 780 no start 700

I was giving the car a once through this afternoon and went for a test drive afterwards. When i got back i revved the engine a coupole of times and it suddenly died. I tried to crank it over and it was pulling VERY hard. I let go of the key to try again and since then the engine wont even turn over. From what i have been able to tell there is a draw somewhere in the system, but i cant find it and unfortunately i dont have enough experience with the electrical system on this car to know how to attack it properly.

Has anyone had any experience with somthing like this, or any suggestions on where to check. I am thinking that maybe the starter is still partially engaged, but would this car still draw current if the bindex were open? Would this explain the lack of cranking?

Thank you all!

Jesse
