Help!

I was driving home last night and gave it a little punch and kinda hesistated then as i slowed down my car sounded funny then when i let off the gas it just died, i got it started it sounded funny and as soon as i let the gas out it died again. I was also having electrical problems as my interiors cluster lights would come on when i accelerated (battery ,brake,oil pressure,etc..) And now my battery is dead what do you think the problem is it didnt smoke real bad so i dont think it was a apex seal i just got ra seals and my motor rebuilt about 900 miles ago? Help me!

It could be a bad battery or alternator. A low voltage condition < 11.5 v will have a profound effect on your electronics.

It's almost certainly your alternator.
