Sounds like your alternator died.

Put a volt meter on the battery it should be around 14v. Autozone etc can loan a tool or u can use the gage on your dash.

I agree with both of em, take your battery and your alternator to checker or autozone, and they can test em both and see what the damage is.

I would bet he's right. this has happened to me on several occasions and different cars. No matter the type of car they act the same when the alt's dying and you have just enough battery charge to get you to the middle of nowhere and it chokes and dies. Just helped a friend change his alt out on a 95 nisson tuner type car. he describes what you did.
BTW, jmm98ls1, I now have all your aound clips on my favorites so when i have a bad day or need morning motivation I can get it.

I'd start with the battery/terminals first. If you have a OEM Delco battery still make sure the pos terminal isn't leaking.
