How do you determine what value cap you need by checking the windings with
a meter?

Upon closer inspection there is one 330mfd and one rusty cap that I can't
read.

You don't, but if a winding is burned out new caps won't help. BTW, you
might have a motor with a start and a run cap. Local distributor may be able
to guess at the value - many electrician's meters now will measure the value
too.
