Front drum vs. front disk wheel bearings?

I seen these kits on Ebay for wheel bearings without a drum/disk description. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260365695689&category=34200&viewitem=

My knowledge was that disk and drum brakes did not share the same bearings. Is there a difference between them or are they the same?

Hi nononononova,

The same bearings are used for both disc & drum brakes. All 2nd, 3rd, and most 4th gen ChevyII/Novas use an A2 outer bearing and an A6 inner bearing. 79's went to slightly larger A3 outer bearings.
