The IPC for the engine (same IPC as for our C145/O300 engines) specifies to order the Oil Guage Rod by specifying the engine, and exact airplane model, and year. The SIL 00-7A to which your previous post refers, stipulates that for the Swift, using enigne C-125-2, the correct Oil Guage Rod is PN A36218.
(So I guess the answer is not "yes"...but in fact is No. Because in fact, there was a specific one for the Swift, I would not use the same item in either the 145 engine or the 170.)
