Default Introduction and beginers questions

Hey there.
First the intro, my name is James. I have a 1984 245 D24 manual 4 speed+OD. Its in great shape for its age. Only has 145K on it. Runs great, but only gets about 25mpg (mixed city & highway), and has a huge lack of power. Slower than a fully loaded 18 wheeler and won’t go above 55mph.
So Im thinking there must be something wrong with it. Or is it just becuase it's old, diesel, and NA?

Which leads to my beginners questions.
Where can I buy repair manuals for this car?
Does anyone know any good shops around Savannah GA?
Where can I find info on how to do the fallowing ...
-Adjusting Timing
-Adjusting Valves
-Adjusting the injection pump
-Testing injectors

Thanks much in advance.
