The same bolt pattern was used on all early model CJ carburetors and should fit with out trouble. The bolts will run front to back on the intake. There is the possibility that your Jeep has had the motor, or intake replaced with one from an early 2WD Wagon or Jeepter that used a slightly larger carburetor and had the mounting bolts running side to side.
