As far as a Jack, you could get a 2 ton hydraulic floor jack from any Walmart
or Pep Boys. But for the instruction manual, I doubt you'll be able to find
the owners manual anywhere, unless someone is willing to get rid of theirs,
but you could easily get a Bentley or a Haynes manual. ( I would strongly
urge the Bentley over the Haynes personally). If you are looking for a stock
jack, a dealer might have one for sale, but I don't think you would want
that. It is a very silly looking thing that I wouldn't trust without stands.
Your best bet would be a good quality jack, that has some stability.

In response to you question about converting it over to diesel, I have no
idea.
