Sudden loss of power

I'd be cruising at 60mph, in my 91 3 liter pickup and suddenly for 1/4 second, it was as though someone had switched off the engine and then turned it back on again. Any ideas of what the problem might be

Check engine light? Maybe an O2 sensor? Running rich?

Quit dragging your foot

check your coil wire, if you have one.

check your transducer gap

check your distributor bearing, transducer rotor may be lifting out of range of the transducer.

check your throttle position sensor

check your maf sensor
