Voltage Draw

[strat1960s]

I've noticed that if my car sits for more than a few days I have a low battery. The batter is less than 7 months old. Any suggestions on where to look for the volyage draw?

Chafed courtesy light wiring, or a slight current leak at the wiper, or aftermarket radio hookup.

They're my guesses. Pull each fuse in turn and connect an ammeter in series - look for current draw.

The radio was my thought as well. I couldn't find the original wires so I hard wired it to the battery with a fuse in line. I'll check it out.
Thanks

Aftermarket radios are usually the culprit on voltage draws on these old cars as there is not a lot of miscellanous stuff that draws power.

Get the multimeter out and start testing at the fuse box.
