They will be a tight fit. I put the dowels in the freezer overnight and put the flywheel in the oven for about 20 minutes @ 400 degrees.
Then tapped them right in.
Good luck!

Well, I just put a new clutch and fly wheel on my mustang and I couldnt get the dowl pins to go in for anything. So me and my friend didnt put them in. Should I take it all back out and put them in?

and they should be a tight fit, use a hammer and bash them in. theres no need to heat the flywheel, sometimes you need to hit stuf with a hammer to get it to fit.
