    Need advice with parasitic battery drain

    That's not too bad. Your alternator diodes might be slipping a little current by them, but if you drive it daily you won't notice a thing.

    Need advice with parasitic battery drain

    If you have a working radio, then the amp draw should be around 0.03amps to 0.05amps . Any more and your loosing power from something, usually the alternator diodes.

    Good price on the kits. I'm a firm believer that if your going to open up your alternator you might as well replace the bearings and brushes and diode pack all at the same time.

    Need advice with parasitic battery drain

    I thought you said you checked the alternator ? If it is the alternator it is probably the diode pack. The diodes go bad and allow a "back flow" of current. Very common problem with GM alternators.
