Harris Ranch 1930 Chevy car parts - Update

Several people asked for more specific photographs of the engine and parts. Any help identifying what the parts are, and when they were manufactured would be of the very appreciated. Please note the car is set up for an American driver.






Engine number reads "88501 // A 8 0 // Chevy Emblem 1". Thanks to Filling Station I was able to identify the engine as built in 1929 or 1930. 
 When you add in the information from the water outlet, able to determine the Chevy is from 1930.

  Passenger side of the engine. Also shows the colour striping.



What ever finally killed the engine it was an internal problem. - Still don't know what caused this damage. Thanks to an unknown commentor there does appear to be a intentional knife cut in the extreme left. Perhaps in hopes of preventing the damage?




Distributor reads: “ANDERSON / Ind// Delco – Remy // Model / 633G// Serial / 480814// AUTOMOTIVE ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT”

- Update: Thanks to the power of Google, the cap dates to 1931. 





Starter? Plate reads: 

 “ANDERSON / Ind// Delco – Remy // Model / 7141// Serial / 498795// AUTOMOTIVE ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT”


Update - Still working on a way to date the fuel pump. The model number reads "855261".


 Not part of the engine but another unknown. Someone suggested the window mechanism?
Update - Thanks again to an unknown commenter they identified it as a window regulator.  

Thanks to all who have offered help!
