Presbyterians and Fundamentalism

Is classical Presbyterianism compatible with American Protestant fundamentalism?

It appears that fundamentalism has exerted a strong influence in the Presbyterian realm outside of the usually mentioned Bible Presbyterian Church. Issues of drinking, the conversion experience, and dispensationalism have penetrated Presbyterian denominations like the PCA. So, can fundamentalism and Presbyterianism coexist? As somewhat of an ex-fundy, I would like to see more done to put boundaries between the two, but I'm not sure how to proceed.
