I had the same problem with mine, thought it was a bulb also. It turned out to be the flasher was bad. I replaced it and everything became normal. The turn signal flasher is located behind the passenger side dash panel. The one for the emergency flashers is located in the fuse panel block. Both of mine were originals so I replaced them both, certainly cheap enough at 3 bucks apiece. Good luck

I found this over on the Camaro Tech board. It might have something with respect to your problem.
Although a quick flash normally does indicate that there is a bulb that is out.

-----------------------------------
Original equipment bulbs on most pre-'72 cars was as follows:
1034: dual-filament park/turn and brake tail. Clear bulb for use with red rear or amber front lens.
1034A or 1034NA: dual-filament park/turn. Amber bulb for use with clear front lens.
1141 or 1073: single-filament bulb. Reversing/backup lights (and single-function—brake-only, turn-only—lights frequently found on old Mopars).
In the early '70s, the 1034 was replaced by the 1157, the 1073/1141 by the 1156. These 1150-series bulbs put out the same amount of light, but draw slightly more current and last quite a bit longer. When changing from 1034s to 1157s, often it was (and is) necessary to replace the turn signal flasher, because the original would flash too fast if used with 1157s. Nowtimes, it's difficult to find a flasher calibrated for 1034s.
