Hey! :wavey
I dont really think you will have a bad parasitic load just from the ignition column like that. It just seems like your key tumblers just deteriorated from 23 years lol.
I would put my money on the old crappy battery. Did you leave the new battery hooked up overnight at all? If not, try that a few days and see if you have a problem. Otherwise, check to make sure all of the interior components are off (radio, windows, etc) when you shut the car off. Other than that, check out all of your electrical components on the inside and make sure they work, including the blower fan. The blower fan sometimes becomes a parasitic load if the clip burns out and fuses the leads together.
Good luck!
