engine cuts out

hopefully someone can help me understand whats going on with my slight problem. the problem i'm having is that sometimes at speeds of about 37 mph, and 57 mph my '85 302 with e40d tranny will just cut out and if i shift to neutral or slow down below shift points the engine will come back in.any ideas out there.

Are you sure of what you have? The 85 didn't have a e4od tranny. If someone swapped it in, what is running it, it needs a computer. Does your 85 302 have the original fuel injection or a carb?

If I understand you correctly, the engine is cutting out? If so, I would put a code reader on the engine and see what codes you have. You can read the codes with a testlight or voltmeter also. Here's a site that will help you with that.
