There isn't a past tense for will, because it is future tense. However, if you want to talk about a point in the past when you were looking forward to an event in the future (relevant to that point in the past), you would use "would." Here's an example:
From a point in the past: "John hoped that his wife would get him a new Golf club set for his birthday." (In the past, John hoped that something would happen in his future, which is in the past NOW, when the sentence is uttered.)
Just to compare: From the present: "My friend John is hoping that his wife will get him a new set of golf clubs for his birthday."
There. Clear as mud. :)
In other words would is the past form of will.
