Good advice, get rid of those aluminum pivots. They are not going to like your .514 lift cam and the revs when you step on itFirst of all, your stock pivots are aluminum and subject to wear. You can go to Checker/OReilly Auto parts and buy new ones for very little (I think I paid just over a buck each), and they're steel.
Second, the oil deflectors are available from a company called "Pioneer Automotive", somewhere in Mississippi. They're cheap, but the catch is, they only sell to engine builders, not to the public. My builder got them for me for $1.75 each. You have a couple broken ones, and that's an indication more could be weak.
The 3rd option: buy new rocker arms from Summit Racing. They have the later models that have a tang bent in them, so they don't need the add-in oil deflectors. Ford changed to that style in '72 or '73, something like that.
