Default 1982 C3 Engine Problem

i have a 1982 C3 corvette that once in a while will not start. i turn the key in the ignition and NOTHING happens. something is drawing on the battery while the car is off, but no one can seem to figure out WHAT is drawing from the battery. has anyone had this problem or does anyone have a really good mechanic that i can take my car to?

I am sure a moderator will catch this and move it but if not you may want to repost this in the C3 section. you are in the C6 section.

My 1980 was doing the same thing. It had an aftermarket security installed. Disconnected it and no longer was a problem....
