Try some Kano Kroil instead of PB Blaster. Anecdotal evidence seems to point to it working better. I can assure you that it smells better!
Sorry to hear that the jack doesn't fit.

Pretty sure that says Mercedes. 
This thread has some other alternatives, including aluminum jacks from RX7s and Porsches

Well, guess what I found on eBay?
A New Old Stock shiny C3 scissor jack for $135 with free shipping!
So, I'll be using (or more hopefully, not using) a stock jack.
My old jack's bearing fell apart once I got it freed up a little, the ball bearings falling all over the floor.

No jack or spare onboard here. The tub is there for looks only. USAA roadside assistance rocks if I get in a bind. I'm done changing tires on the side of the road!

Use AAA, my 5 th Gen Camaro, from the factory has no Spare or jack, the wheels/tires to large to fit in the trunk because of the battery. The new car Sales Manager guaranteed me, that I wouldn’t get a flat! Oh, Chevy did throw in a can of fix a flat, plus a cheap electric air pump. Like I said, call AAA.
