whut makes you think it's the switch? could be the flasher or fuse..I would check those first....kinda rare to have a switch fail, but I guess it's possible

You need a wiring diagram/FSM, should be one of the entry requirements for car ownership. If you PM me I'll send you my 4shared link to the wiring diagram for a '69, it should be the same.
It is not enough to visually verify fuses, you need to check both sides of the fuse for power in/out w/ a continuity light. I had a shop back when all cars were this simple and found a glass tube fuse which looked good but did not pass power.
The flashers themselves fail regularly, they are little mechanical switches. In '69 there are two as I recall, one behind the glove box, which is the hazard flasher, and one behind the switches for the turn signals. It's been a couple of years since I worked on this, so I might be wrong. The hazard is the one also connected to the brake light switch w/ pink wires. You did not say if your turn signals work, or only the hazards have failed, but you could check the lighting circuits by jumping power to the double wires going out of the hazard switch. Power into one of the double wire connectors should light the dash indicator and lights on the corresponding side of the car. Fast flasher means overloaded circuit like having a trailer wired in, or using heavy filament 2057 bulbs, or maybe bad lighting grounds. Stuck flasher w/ one side lit usually means bad bulb somewhere. Start here and good luck. Cool car by the way.
