It's only drawing 4.75 amps.

You should be drawing less than .004 amps or 4 milliamps
This means that something is on and drawing current. So you have power on even before you turn on the key. which is probably the lights that must be getting current from the battery all the time.
I don't know if you meant that your tach and HEI wires are both plugged into the other IGN-Unfused terminal or not but only the HEI wire goes to ignition power, the tach wire from the tach goes to the ignition coil in the distributor
unless you mean it's the tach light wire and the tach power wire.
