Ken, I am familiar with the fusible link. And its location. It's purpose is
as you describe it. To prevent overload fires.
There is another wire in the loom of early points equipped coaches.
It's purpose is to reduce the run voltage to the distributor to improve
points and condenser longevity. It is prone to failure by overheating and
burning the wires around it. That was the wire I was referring to.
Sorry if I caused any confusion. My bad.
