No.
The adaptors used on mi conversions allows you to fit the 8v distributor which AFAIL is an old school dizzy with vacuum advance and bob weights a step backwards if you have an ignition curve that is mapped as opposed to a mechanical one.

What Kris is saying is could you just use a cheaper arm and cheaper cap and TBH it should be easy enough to do.
