Porsche Crest 911 Carrera 85 does not start and more...

It is time to take my '85 out of summer storage (this is Florida - I put it up on summer and drive it in fall/winter/spring -- the A/C is less than adequate for this weather.) I always try to crank it and go for a small spin every so often. That said the last time was approx 1 mont ago.
Yesterday, when I was going to take it out, it just did not start at all. It cranked strong, but not a single puff, cough, smoke, nothing.

...and more... The battery gets consistently dead after about a week of inactivity, I charge it overnight,and it goes back to work strong, so I believe the batt is okay, however, I think it should stay alive longer than that. Today I try to crank it again and the battery is dead. Putting 2 'n 2 together, could I have a short on the ignition circuit?

Please help!!!
Where do I start?
