Has someone added something to the car and tapped into the ignition feed to power it?

Are you asking me?
No, I wouldn't suspect a dash cluster on that car. The cluster is powered by the ignition switch, not feeding it. Something would have to be feeding power back to the coil somehow.

starter relay maybe cuz the wire from the battery goes straight to instrument cluster then to switch on this car thats original wiring even with key off coil resistor and voltage regulator all have power key switch and ignition switch is new

I don't have a wiring diagram on something that old but they were basic systems and there definitely shouldn't be anny power at the coil with the key off and the power should be coming directly from the ignition switch.

That thing has a module that is fed from the brown wire at the ignition switch through the resister. The alternator field wires are tied into it so try unplugging the alternator and see if that changes anything. I guess it's possible to have burnt diodes in the alternator feeding back through the ignition circuit.

At this polnt in the game remove wire fom coil. With a test light find a hot with key on/crank wire either under hood or dash.. Tap onto it and hook to coil .Try and see if pob goes away.
