Why does a Chevy 350 cut out while accelerating but rev up and idle just fine?

Check your fuel pump/fuel filter. On the newer fuel injected cars/trucks a restricted fuel filter will allow the engine to perform properly until a fuel demand limitation is reached. Operation may be normal at 60mph and then feel like it has hit a wall at 65mph when the fuel delivery is not sufficient for engine operation at the increased load. Acceleration is the same condicition low fuel flow due to the blocked filter not allowing full fuel flow to the engine.

the tranny light comes on, because the idle speed or timing need to be adjusted.

I just bought a 79 Chevy with the 5.7 350 in it..it was doing the same thing next time you put gas in it get some sort of additive like carb cleaner and put it in the gas then try and blow it out a little I drove mine about 100 miles when I bought it and it seems to be just fine now

Why would a 1975 Chevy 350 idle fine for a few minutes but when taken driving runs fine when accelerating but sounds like it is trying to die when the at low RPM's?
Sounds like you have a fuel related problem. Most likely too high of a mixture of gas compared to air. When you are accelerating the extra gas is needed to speed up but when you slow down to lower rpm`s the extra is choking out the carb. Check your tailpipe and see if there is a strong smell of gas and if it is sooty. If it is too rich your mixture will need to be set on your carb.
