Ah, late 70s is what I'm finding is when they converted to metric. Guessing that happened right after Ford announced the Metric Conversion Act at the end of 75' https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_Conversion_Act

Favorite part about that: "The Metric Board was abolished in 1982 by President Ronald Reagan"

That's my least favorite part. I hate that the US still uses and teaches its archaic and just plain stupid customary units.
