Is this the JK replcement carb?
Yes, it will fit. But it's a proper pain in the a*** to set up, a rolling road is needed.
Then the fuel economy is no better, reportedly worse, with some power loss too.

I wouldn't fit one, I would repair the 2e3 or buy a good second hand one.

What's up with the old one anyway?

From what I have read over the years, Kev is right

I would et the 2e3 repaired / serviced = they are a good carb when working right.
Gasure (see link in my sig below) are good with these carbs.
