On an unmolested `71 Super the t'signals and gas gauge get their ignition-switched power from the fuse at one end of the box, while the 4-ways receive unswitched power from from the fifth fuse down. Brakelights and horn are the third fuse. http://www.vintagebus.com/wiring/1302_USA_from_September_1970.jpg So, does the gas gauge work? if not it's probably just a loose/dirty fuse. One of the duties of the hazard switch is to select the source of power to the flasher (ign-switched Term 15 or unswitched Term 30) so if you DO have power to Term 15 on the hazard switch, based upon your symptom I'd say the hazard switch is bad.
