I thought I would share my findings.
As suggested by Greasymechtech, I contacted Hastings regarding their filters that cross reference to the Motorcraft FL1a. They had a number of them. One is Hastings #LF115 which is the same physical size as the FL1a. The Hastings LF115 has a Micron rating of 12. They also listed a longer version #LF426 (like the FL299) which had the same specs as the shorter LF115 except the micron rating was 23.
Considering the FL1a micron rating is 20, which is a minimal difference to the large Hastings LF426, and I prefer to go with a filter with more capacity, the large Hastings is what I will be going with. Thank You to all for their feedback
