The model A electrical system is essentially a single circuit with different branches... If a short happened anywhere's in the circuit the car would lose spark and shut down...
If a fuse was installed that may also blow and cause a no start... If the short is intermittent the car may have intermittent spark causing a drivability issue and may not blow the fuse right away...
An EVR in the generator will protect it from burning up or if you had high resistance in the battery connections it will help preserve the generator that way also...
