It was the guy at Napa's job to know it was a flare fitting. Be able to tell. If he doesn't know old cars then he needs to go and ask a fellow employee.
It was NAPA's failure to hire a person who has a better background.
Or even someone who would go on the computer and look at a schematic.
Ignorant AND lazy.
