I need some welding advice

MyJeepXJ said:
220V arc with 6011 should be plenty, Im guessing 110-135A should be plenty.
6011 1/8 at around 80 to 110 amps 6011 3/32 65 to 75 amps, play with it from there, and work the rod, puddle, out, puddle, out in a rythem
 
Rod: With mild steal to mild steal all most any rod rated (Good) will do for this type of gob. Find a you like and stick with it.
To cast: The 70s likes cast. But many will do just fine.
Amps: Penetration, penetration penetration. What ever amps it takes to cut deep. Many people not use to rod end up running cold and just ends up laying it on top, It looks good and is easy to grind off after the weld false.
