You've got a crossed wire somewhere. Ok so I stated the obvious! lol Was this a problem before you put the sterio in? Disconnect the sterio, amps and all, then see if you still have a draw on the battery. If you're lucky you just connected something wrong. If it still has a draw you're very unlucky. lol It took me, 2 long weekends to find where the short in my elec. sys was. It's a real pain in the *** but you've got to do it. Get a voltmeter, one that can test for continuity, a test light, and a wireing diagram. I'd send you a copy but I've only got the diagram for 69/70. Sooner or later you'll find where the short is! Hopefully sooner. When I did it ,it was later! I finally traced it back to the horn ring in the steering wheel. God what a pain, I threw many tools that day! lol Good luck
