That is correct. There is a wire hooked to the switched wire leading to the solenoid. There is also an oil pressure switch that is threaded into the back of the block. The fuel pump relay will prime the pump and then shut off. The power to the fuel pump on a stock harness goes through that switch as a safely mechanism to stop fuel flow if the vehicle crashes and the motor dies. Obviously, it can also save your motor in the event of a loss of oil pressure. So make sure you have power to your pump. I assume you also know to disconnect the tan wire to the distributor before attempting to change the timing. If you don't, it will go nuts.
