7.5 mA drain with car off too much???
Does any one know what the drain on their battery is with the key off? I get a reading of 7.5 mA. Is this amount normal for a 90 with all the electronic gizmos we have under the hood and stereo?

That doesn't seem to be an excessive parasitic load. I have a '96 car with almost 35mA of standby current. If you want to reduce that, remove the ECM/Fuel pump fuse and see what the load does. Then remove the RADIO fuse.
