Make sure and triple check all your grounds. Could try plugging the old ones back in to see what you've got to isolate it.
Double check the LEDs are for a twelve volt system. Had that happen once. Throws everything off.. Just some thoughts

Bought all from LMC, lights and the flasher. Supposed to be for the 68?? I do not have the instuctions on the flasher anymore the body guy tossed. How does it wire up, I know it would not plug into the factory flasher place??

You might have to ground the taillight housing directly to the body, but I'm not sure how the LED setup is designed. I know I've had a similar issue with the stock assemblies on a new bedside. Attach a ground wire to the housing and one to a good body ground and see where you're at. Good luck and post some pics when you're done!
