Typical wiring problems, leading to drain issues?

Are there ant typical wiring problems that i should be concerned about, anything that normal that is draining my battery? Or what would be draining my battery i guess would be a better question. An 86 na (no aftermarket electrical), i just got a new alternator and battery, yet over a couple of days of driving my battery will be dead. And when driving my voltage drops almost to the point of dying unless reved a lot or going fast at higher rpms. I have no idea what would be causing the problem.

mabey your belt is slipping or lose, or the altanator could be faulty.

This sounds like a faulty alternator. Take the car back to where you got it from and have them test it.
