Torsion bar supension problem

I finally got my 1955 Clipper Constellation running again after it had been sitting for about 15 years. I'm amazed I was able to accomplish that with my limited mechanical ability. One of the problems I had initially was that the generator became extremely hot and began to smoke after running the engine for only a few minutes. I bought an original rebuilt generator, installed it, but it still got hot and smoked. That problem was solved after I sought advice from this forum where it was suggested that the problem might be the voltage regulator. I installed a new voltage regulator and woolah!!! the problem was fixed. My other problem involves the torsion bar suspension. When I initially connected the battery, and turned the leveling switch on, the rear end moved up to its highest point and remains there. As advised by members of this forum, I've searched for any shorts in the wiring. I thought maybe a fuse blew out, but I have no idea where the fuse is located for the torsion suspension. I've looked for it, but I can't find it! Any suggestions on what to do to get the rear end of my car lowered? The car looks beautiful except for the high rear end. LOL. Thanks for any suggestions.
