Don't bother.

And before you ask "Why not?" I'll ask you what you think you will gain by running e85. And you can't reference an MCM episode in any response.

Seriously though, don't bother.

^^ 100% agree.
Don't even bother trying.

The amount of effort I had to go to to run it in my highly modified Mazda MPS, is more then enough to tell people not to even think about it in a car this old.

I love E85 and have ran it in the past, but for a sierra it's really not worth it!

Reasons:
To get benefits from E85 you need either turbo or high compression pistons. I am sure your car doesn't have either
Cold starts can be a bitch
Reduced range. Sierra's already have small tanks for an offroad vehicle and you will reduce that by 30%
Limited servo options. You dont want to be stuck in dingo whoop whoop with no E85 station
Cost to convert all rubber lines, fuel pump and fuel system.

Basically in this application you get all the negatives of e85 and non of the positives.
