A sticking caliper results in serious pulling of the car to one side! I've had one. Generally, if you pull out the pads, you can always fit a C-clamp in there and force the piston to move. This essentially freed my right front caliper.
A new one isn't much really...just a couple of hundred bucks for an 84 maybe more for 86 dunno
Anyway if your car didn't pull at all, then it ain't a stuck caliper. These guys have the real opinions but the fact that applying the brakes changes the sound could easy be a function of a change in stress on the bearings and not necessarily suggest that the howling is emanating from the brakes themselves.
