The arching you mention is probably not related to the fuse blowing. Its just the ground path for the points and is arching between the plate and head instead of the contacts while the plate is loose. Try isolating each coil by removing the power side one at a time. I'm assuming it is not shorted w/ 12v disconnected from the coils?Sounds like you might have a internally shorted ignition coil to me.

Normal when the points plate is loose.
