I don't know.  I have a couple of spares kicking around in the attic, but they no longer fit my distributor (the original MagnaSpark used a Bosch 009, while the MagnaSpark II uses something closer to a Mallory or MSD).  

The Blue ones supposedly have beefier embedded tabs inside to handle the "brute strength" of the blue coil (which is, IIRC, about 40K volts) without pitting the tabs, or something like that.  If you want one I can dig around in the attic and find one for you.

@Lfepardo I think I was the guy selling those hex bar upgrade kits.  Mine are 5/16" Heim joints that get attached to the carburetor air cleaner bottom plates after the existing hex bar end tabs are removed.  The price of the American Heim joints I was sourcing shot up dramatically a few years back, getting the kit up over the $50 range so I stopped making them.  I might have one kit left but haven't checked parts cost in a while.  Somewhere on here I think I provided a parts list and sources.  If not, I can certainly provide that to the SOC.
