Battery Drain.... !?!?!?!?!?!?

Ok this has me puzzled I got my '66.... and it runs like a top.... about a week ago I had a battery drain issue. So I figured a bad ground seeing how the previous owner had jiffy rigged a few things. So... I figured time to take a look. So I replaced the battery, cables, put an engine ground strap on, it needed a voltage regulator so I did that, had the Alternator tested too just cause its an old one(it was good). Soooo since then its been running great!!! well today at lunch I go to jump in it and..... click, click, click. I get a jump and viola runnin like a top until I shut it off.... so apparently I have some kind of parasitic drain on the battery.... any ideas?
