battery drain


hoping to get some thoughts on where to start looking for a drain on my battery...

1968 Nova small block, new battery, new regulator, new alternator - factory gauge indicates charging properly but after sitting a day or two won't start without a boost

never any problems until it came out of storage this spring

any help appreciated, thanks

If you can get a hold of a clamp on ammeter and clamp the postive cable. With the key off. Start pulling fuses one at a time and watch to see when the current drops, this will show you which circuit is draining your battery. I hope this will point you in the right direction.
