My '71 had a similar problem that turned out to be in the turn signal switch.  I replaced it and all was well.

1. check bulbs stop&turn are the same
2. check the signal at the turnsignal switch connector

3. get a wiring diagram and everything will be easier

Probably in the TS switch , check for power in the wite wire up the column & check for power out to the tailights if power goes in but not out it is the TS switch

Ok,will check out the switch and wiring involved ,thanks for your advice,not so good with wiring issues but am getting better,have just bought multimeter and learning how to use,been more at home with mechanical than electrical issues,cheers Paul

Have power at white wire going up coloumn ,which color wires do i check in the loom coming back down,have checked some have power and some not,not sure as color different from loom going up.thanks

the signal to hazard/brake rear lights is:
dark green - LEFT
brown - RIGHT

they should be just by the white wire. Remember they only give signal when hazrd/turn signal/brake connectors are swithed on (eg. hazard switch, turn lever, brak applied). The easiest way is to check em with hazrd lights on (if they work - check front). generally unplug the connector and link white-brown, then white-dark green, right, then left light should turn on (brake applied). If so the turn signal switch is damaged. If not then no curent/broken bulb/wire.
