Strange electrical problem
I have been trying to adjust my mixture, this has happened twice now, I hook up my dwell meter to the test plug by the rear harness, while I make my adjustments, the battery is getting drained, and I mean quickly, the car stays running but in just a few minutes the tach begins to go hay wire and then dies completely, once I shut it off I have to hook up a battery charger, anyone have this problem? I verified my connections, positive on dwell meter to the green wire and negative to the brown wire, I need to use the meter method because I can't get my hands on an o2 meter, any ideas will be appreciated.

What kind of car, year etc? Need more info to troubleshoot. Something is not correct as you should not be able to run the battery down that fast.
