We have old parameters in parm10.dat: look for atom type "C0", and the
literature reference there. You would have to create a unit for this: see
$AMBERHOME/dat/leap/lib/ions08.cmd for sample input commands to LEaP that
would do this.

It should be pretty clear that these are not "supported" Amber parameters;
generally, simple fixed charge plus LJ parameters have lots of problems for
divalent ions. So, treat these with care.
