thermostat neck question

ok, today i picked up my 90 gtu, got about 10 miles down the road and the neck that comes of the thrmostat cracked, i guess its called the housing, it goes between the radiator hose and the block. anyways when it cracked it started smoking horribly. according to my friends following me i gave off a huge puff of black smoke then a smaller puff of white smoke, the greddy temp gauge never got over 150, am in in the clear or should i worry about anything aside from that neck peice?
