Angry Boil Over

I have a 1986 Blazer S10 2.8 L

Here is the prob. got hot (peg out) and boiled over.

The radiator is new (no tolder than 2 years)
The water pump is new (1 week old)
Therm. is new (no older than 2 years )
Radiator cap is no more than 2 years old.

Here is what happened. The car got hot; It boiled over thru the reserve over flow bottle (boiling and steaming)

I think that the Thermo. Went out. What is anyones suggestions?

Thanks
Don

I would suggest a compression test to see if you blew a head gasket and/or warped the head for starters.
