I still have and use the Lincoln 180 that I bought new in 1955. I read how to weld vertical but had to see it done before I had much luck. I'd use 7014 rod and practice on scrap first starting from the bottom and going up. Set up a corner and strike the arc at the bottom left (if you're right-handed). Have the rod slanted with the tip upwards if you can. Move across to the right as soon as the puddle forms, hesitate a bit and move upward on that side a half-inch or so, hold it long enough for the lower puddle to set up and turn dark and go back down to just above where you started and repeat. You can have the heat about the same as for flat welding or a little lower. Keep a close arc but back off a little at the top of the upstroke, as I remember. It's been a while.
