Wade, noticed your car is a 1974 Triumph TR6... which means it should have
the seat belt lock-out feature. The control box is located in the passenger
side footwell, on the left hand side near the gearbox tunnel. Look for a
big round plug with about 12 different wires entering it, disconnect it and
see how much current is being drawn then.
I had the _exact_ same problem you describe after taking my car out of
storage this past winter. Also a 1974 TR6, we eventually traced the short
to something in that seat belt control box... so we just disconnected the
wiring. But until I did that, each morning I would have a dead battery.
Good luck,
Kai
