if you have a sample that is still close to original you might be able to take it in to your local napa and they can mix something up for you.

I use daytona yellow. It comes in spray can at most any parts store.
Also just used por15 pale yellow in the pint and it brushed on terribly....but 2nd coat went on well and is smooth as glass.

Duplicolor Engine Paint / Daytona Yellow / DE1642

Duplicolor Engine Paint / Cast Aluminum / DE1650 (for the valve cover)

Both are available at NAPA, Amazon, Quality Farm and Fleet. There is debate whether the black should be gloss or semi-gloss. I'm on the glossy side of the fence.
