No, not that kind.

I have one of those clamp on the column turn signals.

After changing out the flasher it works fine for a while and then the indicator light on the turn signal stays on constantly rather than blinking.

I have a 1940 that I've converted over to 12v.

Any idea what's going on?

My first move would be to check grounds. That seems to cause a great many of the electrical gremlins we have to deal with on these old rigs.

I have a question about the flasher on my stock 59. I have a stock 12v system and when I pulled the flasher out it said 6 volts on the casing. Is this normal? I have the same problem as In my 40's and I thought I would change the flasher. Another thing I noticed was that the flasher got hot. Is this also normal

A 12V system should have a 12V flasher. A flasher works by getting hot. When the mechanism heats up it breaks the circuit then it cools to make the circuit again, over and over.
