There may be an unintended drain. But to be sure, have the battery load tested to check its capacity. Or, disconnect battery for about 24 hours, and then try starting. If battery did not drain, then you probably do have a drain.
To find an unintended drain is not difficult, but you need a voltmeter and understand how to use it and look for a drain. Basically you hook the voltmeter up to the battery, then with key in ON, you start pulling fuses, one at a time, until the drain stops. Then you look into that fuse's circuit to find the unintended drain. Sometimes as simple as a glove box light or trunk light that stays lit. Or sometimes caused by a short in the wiring harness-those drains can be hard to find.

Caprice engine/speedometer

Sounds like battery cable is no longer connected to the battery post clamp. These can be repaired but I would recommend a new cable or cables. Parts store can ook up correct ones. Be sure battery terminals are clean before installing new cables.

Also do not let tank run low because fuel in tank keeps in tank pump cool. This is why the pump is in the tank.
