My 1966 satellite has an issue with the front left blinker not blinking. I have changed the bulb and the flasher. And for some reason there was 2 flashers and I replaced both of them. The rear left works and all of the right works. The parking light works in the front left also.. Any tips would be amazing
 
Try clipping a jumper ground wire to the turn signal housing.
 
I'm going through this exact symptom with my brother's 66 Coronet. I tested a spare housing I had and one terminal at the connector is low and one is high. Check and clean male and female connectors and give that a try.

Tried and it still didn't work

The bulb base is kind of crimped to the housing. I have had issues with that joint as well before. Pull out the bulb and ohm the bulb base socket to the actual housing to see if you are getting continuity.
 
many times it is a grounding bug...rusted or severed connection. Yeah, check the condition of the socket for corrosion, check to see how it seats in the socket, jiggle it to see if the bulb illuminates. when using a jumper wire make sure it's actually 'jumped' to a good ground...
 
That other flasher is probably your hazards. Do all lights flash with the hazards on?
