Is there such an adapter to use a mechanical adapter to my 53 gmc speedo on an electronic T5?

Yes, I do believe someone sells a box that takes the signal from the electronic pickup and then with an electric motor of some sort turns the cable going to the original spedo, but they are quite expensive if I remember correctly.

I think you can find the parts to convert your T5 to mechanical cheaper and more reliably than you can get the magic box.

Try:

www.abbott-tach.com
www.terf.com

They are two of the most popular vendors. The cable-x boxes run around $300.00.
