Rule 8 has the guidelines. I don't believe they have a comprehensive list of words that should be capitalized in the Bluebook.

(a) Headings and titles. Capitalize words in a heading or title, including the initial word and any word that immediately follows a colon. Do not capitalize articles, conjunctions, or prepositions when they are four or fewer letters, unless they begin the heading or title, or immediately follow a colon.
