[QUOTE=cdigerlando]I finally got everything back together and road worthy. There are still some problems that I am having which have me quite stumped. For one thing, there are times when my battery drains. The battery is a new optima red top, so it should not be a problem. Once I charge it the voltage is good and seems to recharge. Its almost like something in my car is draining it. I am thinking of attaching an ammeter to the battery when the car is off to see if something is drawing current when it is sitting.
Any advice?

Yes do so, lift off the ground connection and insert a meter in series. Then check as various items are switched on or otherwise energised.
You should also pull fuses one by one and note if a recorded current drain ceases. You will then know what circuit to trace.
