I will try to answer all at once.
I have a good ground because if I bypass flasher lights work.
When I put these guys into the system and as I said they barely glow and they kill all the turn signals.
I am going to say they do not flash or if they do its was such a long delay I did not see it happen.
Bulbs are a single filiment 12 volt. Same as stock. Stock guys work fine so its obviously something with them and the flasher.
I have been poking around for some type of booster or stabalizer but I honestly don't know what to look for when dealing with this old system.
As someone said its such a basic scheme I feel I'm missing something.
They really are clean looking and I would like to get them working and lose the stock stuff from the bars. If not there is always EBAY.
Thanks for all your efforts.

The flasher and lights act as an R-C timing circuit. The amount of resistance in the lamps and the capacitance in the flasher determine the flash rate, and often whether the things will flash at all.
Try a heavy duty flasher and see what happens. Might cure it, and shouldn't hurt it.

I agree completely. Just don't know what else to check. Stock system works fine until I introduce these lights. The heavy duty flasher did increase the juice going to them as they now light up instead of glowing dimly. I don't think they are lighting fully but much more than with the stock flasher.
I think now I am just being stubborn because I can't figure it out. As I said if I can't get working properly they will have to go.
Thanks,
