I'm not sure what that bearing is, but I do know, if you can get the bearing itself, ( and I think you can), there's no way to replace it. I had to use a grinder to carefully remove just enough material from the top side of the housing just to get the old bearing out. The 6 raised tabs inside the bore are what the bearings outer edge were in contact with, and they're severely worn, which is what's causing them to fail. It's 1967 technology. Look at the original bearing and a sealed bearings outer sidewall. It'll have full contact and no chance to wear.
I'll post pics when I find and install a better bearing.

The original bearing used in the housing is a common GM upper bearing used on many applications for other years, but you won't find it listed in the Pontiac MPC for '67 or '68 Tempest/GTO... GM #7800269. I did the same exact thing you did, took my dremel and ground off the retaining ring to remove the bearing. When I went to install the new bearing, it fit loosely and knew that wasn't going to work. I could have used epoxy or JB Weld, but decided against that. That's when I started researching by the Saginaw casting number and discovered the Chrysler part was the same.
