Hi!I first thought that there may have been a load on the battery some how. 
Maybe some place in the wiring harness got cut by a sharp edge of metal rubbing 
over the years to finally cause a short in the system. Check for a load by 
using a test light (randall told me once to use an old Head Lamp as your 'test 
light' (so to take any sudden load). Connect one end of the wire to the (-) 
Earth to the battery, & the other end to the (-) Earth wire that would go on 
the earth battery wire. If the 'Test Light (Head Lamp) goes on, then you have a 
load on your battery when the key to power is off. I think that's how you check 
to see if there is a load on the battery when off? It's been so long in working 
on cars that I may be giving you bad info. so feel free to check with the list 
on this input.-Cosmo Kramer
