There is no "master key", the missing spline in the slip yoke is to allow air to move out of the pocket formed by the plug in the back of the yoke.
If the yoke won't go into the trans at all it's the wrong yoke, if it goes in part way and stops the problem is elsewhere.

I have a rebuilt 66 4 speed trans (23 spline) that I was going to put in my 71 Bee however, the driveshaft I have doesn't seem to fit. I was told that all 71-74B body drive shafts are the same length. I am positive I have a -71-74 drive shaft. The yoke end on the drive shaft has a master key way that my tailshaft on my trans does not have. Do I have the wrong drive shaft? Does a 4 speed and an automatic for a 71-74 B body differ? Have I got the wrong shaft?
If it is a complete '66 trans with a '66 tailshaft housing then you are going to have a problem with the trans mount location ( 1-5/8" further back on '69-earlier transmission and rear shifter mount location like the '70-up tailshaft housings. On the yoke, if it is for a 518 trans then it won't fit a 727. The splines on a 518 are more square than the triangular spline on a 727.
