I am very new to dailing in the bellhousing using dowl pins. With the assistance of a couple of friends who are more knowledgable about this transmission stuff we will be doing a custom 6 speed swap using a QuickTime, Inc. Bellhousing. I called QuickTime and of course they say that because their bellhousings are so exact that I should not need dowel pins. I ask them about differences in engine block manufacturing since this is 1969 technology and they still think that I should not need them but to get ahead and get some if I want.
I am now surfing through SummitRacing and have no idea what kind/size/brand of dowel pins I should buy? We are going to do this swap over a weekend so I don't mind buying extra pins, but I want to make sure I have at least have the correct pins needed.

Are all dowel pins universal or do I need pins specific for the type of bellhouisng or 69 SBC that I will be bolting this thing to?
Also how many pins do I need?
