It looks good.
I have just noticed now that the pump cap has two oil holes. [ATTACH]
It still looks to be in a very good condition. They are mostly beat up when found so yours is a great find even with the cracked globe.
Yes . This holds a spring against the rack to keep it tight against the pinion. Remove the cap bolt and spring and the rack can then be removed...
