Thank you to Nezabudka and Rudi C for your inputs.

After doing some additional testing, here's the final code after some tweaking:

Code:
awk '
NR==FNR    {pat[$1] = $2
            next
           }
           {$0 = substr ($0, 1, 133) sprintf ("%-12s", pat[substr ($0, 134, 12)]) substr($0, 146)
           }
1 ' FS='|' File2.txt  File1.txt
