'It was the last dying breath of the carbureted Volvo.'

It sure was, and noone ever understood why they even bothered. The K engines were sold for two years (1987-88) here, and not for a very long time on any other of the important markets either. That design change didn't feel motivated, especially when compared to the almost equally strong but far better F engines also introduced (here) in 1987.
