I gotta agree with Hal n Rusty, there shouldnt be any voltage getting to the coil from which the points closure allows curent flow IF SHES WIRED CORRECT AND THE IGNITION SWITCH IS OPERATING PROPERLY. Put a test lamp on the coils high input (from ignition switch not to distributor) terminal and turn the ignition on n off n see if it goes dead off when the igniiton is off as it should????? ???? if not, check the wiring harness and the ignition switch itself cuz there shouldnt be any voltage on its ign output (to coil) terminal when its switched to OFF.

I would check the ignition switch with a volt meter to see if voltage is still present when in the off position. Hal

If the points being closed cause the battery to drain, then you are getting electricity to the points. If you are getting electricity to the points, you would not be able to shut off the engine. What method are you now using to stop the engine?

I had the same problem a few years ago. Found that I hooked the coil to the wrong side of the wiring harness. Check to see if you have power at the points with switch off. If so you need to correct the power feed to shut off with the switch. Hope this helps.
