Are you working on a 1986 or a 1968 model?? 86 is not that old....

At any rate it sounds like the classic bad ground issue to me. Start checking for corroded bulb sockets, loose housings, bad wires, etc.

And to answer your other questions, the side marker lights are just that. They are wired in with your licence plate/tail lights and are constantly on ( they aren't indicator tell tale lights)
Your flasher unit volume has no bearing on whether it will work or not. If it is clipped at the back of the dash under some wires it will be quieter than if it is dangling in the centre console (like mine was). If they are flashing on and off. It's doing its thing.
Your front lights in the lower balance are your park lights on your wiring diagram. They are used for front turn signals also. Before you go pulling your turn signal wiring apart, definitely check for bad grounds. Start at the bulbs and work back! ;-)

Hello BLK '68! I'm having similar issues, just wondering what ground wasn't connecting. Thanks,
