Definitely no fuselink in '62. Our cars didn't start getting much of anything in the way of reasonable circuit protection til '63-'64. A few individual circuits are protected by inline fuses in the '60-'61 cars, or a small underdash fuseblock in the '62 cars, but there is no main circuit protection (e.g. fusible link). Adding a good deal more circuit protection is a very fine idea, sooner rather than later if you want to keep the car. You may want to take a look at this thread on circuit protection upgrades.
