The WR by 1968 was 9.9 for the 100m and 9.1 for the 100y. So you could add 0.8 seconds (or 0.9 for slower times) to get the 100y -> 100m equivalent. 100 yards = 91.44 meters.

Would I have to add 0.14 second to convert to FAT time. As a result my 49.8 would really be 49.94 and my 400 meter conversion would be a 49.64 And that would result in Tommy Smith would have run a 44.64 sec 400 meter. Thanks so much.
