Forget the blowing fuse for now. That only controls the lighting system as previously mentioned. Just get the engine running, then plan on a complete wire harness replacement. It will eliminate future headaches. With wiring that old, it just isn't worth the time to try to splice and repair all of the worn and broken conductors.
Does that help?

Sounds great, thanks a lot. I plan to replace. 80 year old wiring in the walls of a home are bad enough I can just imagine 80 year old wiring exposed to the weather It was amazing that this car worked at all. The motor really sounded smooth and quiet
