after driving and warming up my 360 gives off the atifreeze smell when i cut it off i have seent the water boil over just wondering any ideas it doesnt overheat and it has enough water/antifreeze in it i put a new water pump on while back maybe 300 miles or so but no thermostat should i ? thanks in advance

 

A thermostat is a must,also check the radiator cap.

FYI, A lot of people make the mistake of filling the rad right to the top instead of properly filling it to about an 1" down from the rad cap sealing ring.

Where is yours being filled to?

also maybe check the heater core.
