Need help with battery dying

I have a 75 d200 with the 318. I put a electric fuel pump on it the other day attached to a switch and since then the battery has died pretty fast with everything off. I put a new battery in but it kept dying so I changed the alternator and it still just cuts off anytime I unhook the battery terminal. Any thoughts?

You have verified the fuel pump shuts off with the ignition?

Fuel pump is connected to a switch I make sure is off after the ignition is off.

If the alternator is charging it sounds like the battery died, pull it and have it checked out.
