Greg,
 Not a dumb question since auto brake lines and flares are di= fferent. (90=B0)
The answer to your question is yes the fittings are the same. If= a company sells "AN" fittings they are supposed to be built to the old ARMY= /NAVY specifications. (37=B0 flares) I have used many EARL's fittings and th= ey have excellent quality. Since Holley bought them out, the word is that th= ere is a slightly smaller selection of fittings but the turnaround time to g= et them is less. You win some and lose some.

Probably a dumb question but do the AN fittings sold by th=
e auto suppliers
such as Earl's have the same flare angle as the aviation fittings sold at
Spruce etc?
