flywheel dowels

[Nikki]

Hey,
I hope im in the right category here, (im a newbie), im re-doing my 1999 ford ranger XLT 3.0L manual, and when i removed my flywheel i noticed I only had 1 dowel. I have no idea what happened to the other 2.I'm assuming the guy who owned the truck before me, didn't take good care of her, considering the amount of repairs im doing on her now!

So my question is, do you think i could get away with placing my clutch and pressure plate on my flywheel with only 1 dowel?
Thanks
Nikki

you can get away with lining it up with the bolts and 1 dowel. check the old pressure plate for the other 2 dowels though
