Stopped in a parts store in the area, was scoping out the 'scratch and dent' aisle and saw an NPD X-, F-, A-body drum to power disc conversion kit marked way down.

Said to have a possible 'sticking caliper' which I'm guessing could be diagnosed without a lot of trouble.

Final sale, though - no returns.

Any experience with the kit? Is this just another vendor product remarketed and marked up thru NPD? Assume it is a common caliper that could just be switched out for a fresh one through the lcoal auto parts store.

Wouldn't mind saving the $$$ to apply elsewhere, but, not if it is a whole lot of heartache.

All of these kits use the same parts. factory style single piston calipers with 11" factory style discs. They are basically what you would have found on a 69 Z28. The only thing the companies make themselves are typically the caliper brackets.

If it has a sticking caliper you may need to buy a new one if you can't get it to unstick. Depending on the markdown on the kit, it may still be a good deal even knowing that.
