My 351W didn't have any dowels when I installed my timing cover just a couple months ago. Just make sure the seal opening is centered on the crank snout before tightening the bolts and it should be fine. If your balancer shaft doesn't fit tightly in the seal opening, you may need to get some oversized bushings to fit on the balancer shaft just for this purpose. Most automotive machine shops can point you in the right direction of these bushings.
