The conclusion Wilhelm Wundt drew from his 'thought meter' experiment was that...
Answer
auditory and visual stimulus that had occurred simultaneously were NOT being consciously experienced simultaneously.
auditory and visual stimulus that had occurred simultaneously were being consciously experienced simultaneously.
it was impossible to properly coordinate auditory and visual stimulus with his current setup, and he needed to establish a lab to get any true results.
he would either see the stimulus or hear the stimulus, but not both - the sensory experiences were overriding each other.

Answer
