A 12V solenoid for a 55 Oldsmobile can be adapted to a 6V Chevy passenger car starter. It will have a more normal engagement speed, which will eliminate the grinding caused by a too-fast engagement. The difference is the resistance of the pull-in winding of the 12V solenoid. The 6V starter armature and field coils will work just fine on 12V.
