My first canopy was a Sabre-170 and I had it in a Javalin J1 from -98.
It fitted, but was tight.

Im sure it depends on the canopy, but in my experience a spectre 170 was a really really really tight fit.

I have a J2 and a 9 cell 170 was really tight in it. A J1 is smaller and might fit a 170 7 cell but a 9 cell is going to leave the closing loop too long for my tastes. A j1 is really made for the 150-135 and can fit a 120 into it.

I've got a '97 J1 with a 170 Sabre 1.
The Sabre's got +- 650 jumps on and fit tightly but with no distortion or extraction hesitation.

attached some pics...

If you woke up breathing, congratulations!
You get another chance.

As long as the canopy has a few hundred jumps and microlines, you should be able to fit it in without having a major disaster. Don't be shy to lengthen the closing loop.

Based on personal experience.

What everyone else says, but here: http://www.sunpath.com/Legacy_sizchart.htm is the Pre K series size chart, for older containers.

I used to own a 93 J1 (pre K) I had an Electra 170 in it for a while and it was just fine, not hard to close and never a problem on opening.
I down sized to a Hornet 150 and it fit perfectly
