Battery draining problems 200 1989

My battery seems to drain in a couple of days or less. I measured the current drain at 21 mA (with the clock fuse pulled), which seems kind of high. i pulled all the other fuses, but the only one that made a difference was the fuel pump, which took the current down to 6 mA.

Two questions. First, I wouldn't have thought that 21 mA was enough to drain a good battery in a day or two - is that correct? Is my battery suspect?

Second, regardless of the quality of my battery, i wouldn't have thought I should be getting a 15 mA current draw from the main fuel pump. Any easy way to tracjk this down or is it just a case of following all of the wiring?

Thanks
