Finally fixed!!!
After removing the alternator and sending back the regulator, I installed the replacement regulator (under warranty), and the car now charges the battery. I decided to have the alternator tested (at the 'Zone) before installing it. I found out that the CD player was in a tizzy, and was the source of the draw. I was told that the radio has not worked since about the time the battery started going dead. I removed both fuses (CD & radio), and the draw went away. The car sat for almost two weeks while waiting for the replacement regulator, and still was able to start. Once I put the fuses back in, opened the CD changer door, the radio came back and everything works! I used an amp clamp to monitor the modules gradually sleeping, and confirmed that the draw was gone.
