A more general answer is LOTS of components interfere with each other if not properly configured, known variously as RFI, EMI, etc
Even the old Mopar ECU ignition, if the distributor pickup was long enough and run close to high energy circuits, could be problematic. "Generally" very low signal sensors are isolated from ground and many times "balanced." Think ethernet cable, AKA "Cat 5" The conductors of each pair are twisted. This close twisting does two things.....the twist helps cancel interferance, and the balance causes interfering signals to interact with both conductors in such a way as to cause no signal across them.
Another good example, if you are old enough, is TV anteann "twinlead" which was balanced, and twisted upon installation
Run low signal wiring close to ground, use proper grounding strategy to prevent ground loops, and keep low signal wiring and high amperage / high energy wiring away from each other. Run them at right angles if possible
Another example is something like MSD......MSD ignition, with no other components CAN INTERFERE WITH ITSELF!!!! The high energy spark wires can induce "false triggers" into the pickup wiring and cause the MSD to refire/ false fire.
