OK, It's been a long time since you asked the question but I didn't see the answer later in the thread. The part you are asking about is called a Ball Socket. I am very familiar with that part because a mechanic dropped one of those into my engine at some point in the past. For years it banged against the oil pump screen and eventually broke through, went into the oil pump and locked it up completely when it lodged between the gears. That caused the sprocket to rip off of the front of the oil pump. You can imagine.
Anyway, that's what it's called and they do not come in different sizes.
You never did say what was the cause of your misfire...
