Car won't crank, Fusible link blown

Something important is shorted. If you must drive the car home here's what I'd do.......

Do NOT fix the link. Do this in daytime so you don't need headlights

Get some wire, clip leads, terminals, "stuff."

Disconnect the coil + wire and safe it off with tape

Disconnect the ballast (wait assuming you have points ignition?)

Hook one end of the ballast to coil + terminal and hook the other end to battery. The start relay "big stud" is a good place. Leave the key "off" and crank it up by jumpering the starter relay.

This should give you minimal "running" without danger of smoking something further

If you have electronic ignition, post what it is, might be able to hot wire that
