Yes, there is a wire that goes from the neutral safety switch to the relay.
If you look at the relay close it probably is stamped "G". Gary Bradshaw Ft.

While we are on the topic, I have a quick question regarding the NSS
connection to the relay on my '64 Fury.  My original trans is long gone,
as is most of the wiring, but I am assuming there was a separate lead
that went from the NSS on the trans to the starter relay?  I have a new
dash harness and engine harness installed, but neither appear to have a
wire for the NSS ground terminal on the relay.
