Parasitic Amp Draw

jag13catMember

I am experiencing a 2 amp parasitic draw with amp multimeter tester in series with neg. battery terminal to negative cable. Pulled each fuse while observing meter and 2 amp draw was maintained throughout the test. I recently completed restoration and modified the following: Converted to ATO fuse panel, new alternator (external regulator), new regulator, Duraspark II conversion (with relay), and am using voltmeter instead of ammeter. I also rewired the fans and headlights with relays to lighten the load on the ignition switch (following an article by George P.). I have installed a quick disconnect on the negative terminal; however, the problem was discovered when I neglected to unscrew the quick disconnect and new battery was drained after car sat for two days. My thought is that I may have an unfused hot wire in one of the circuits. Any additional thoughts would be welcomed.
