would like to convert my 66 from drum to disc. Was wondering if anyone knows what year and car and what parts i could use for the swap.

easiest to find-
73-76 a-body any RWD mopar car in the late 70`s/80`s get the spindles/lowerball joints, rotors(if they are good) calipers, proportioning valve, and all the nuts/bolts.

I am also planning on this. I was just planning on buying one of the kits from Summit.

Both will work... The Summit kit will give you the advantage of the a larger clamping surface with the 4 piston calipers and larger rotors, which should stop you quicker than the A-body swap. Depending on the tires you run, you may actually overpower them with the brakes and take longer to stop than the A-body setup.
The advantage to the A-body swap is you can walk into any parts store in the country and buy parts. I would check with Summit to see if they'll sell you the wear items from their kit individually (pads, rotors, bearings, etc).
I love Mopars so much I'm date coding the skid marks in my underwear.
