Unhappy '85 Eldorado - Electrical...still

I still have the same problem... here it is:
'85 eldorado drains battery AFTER engine is hot and / or Overheats.

Alternator puts out 12.79 or more
Battery reads 12+
Then when hot drains to 10.5 in matter of minutes.

New Interstate Battery
New 100 Amp Alternator (several)

Ideas?

You have a drain somewhere. Check all the circuits for power drain when the car is off.
