Too much Current draw, how to fix? Also added problem?

So my '89 SPG had a bad habit of loosing charge over a few hours.
Today I tested for current draw when the car was off. Sure enough I found that it was ~300millamps. I know it should be much lower, around 50mA or so. So I starter popping out fuses.
When I took out the central locking fuse/domelight(iirc), the current draw dropped to around 100mA, then with that out, the draw dropped to 50mA when I took out the clock/radio mem/antenna fuse.
How do I go about fixing these draws?
After I left the two fuses out, I then proceeded to take a trip around the block.
Oddly enough, I found that the car would kinda die out, but pick it self back up. But also every time I put the car in first gear, with foot on clutch, not moving.....she would stall out. She never did this before.
What the hell??
Thanks, Dan
